vs
Oil filter K&N or Castrol
Personally I like K&N filters, they come with a nut welded to them so you can use a normal wrench instead of a filter wrench. Gotta be careful not to over tighten them though
Pros: nut welded to them
Cons: careful not over tighten
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have a kn 1 on my truck and winter is about every 1k miles I empty it. Its the 6oz canister and usually about half full. From may till like October I dont even have to look in it because it doesnt get more than an oz of oil build up in it. But man winter time with the condensation sucks.
Pros: little oil build up
Cons: condensation sucks
Mileage: 1000 km
I use Pennzoil 0W-30 Euro Platinum, and a Castrol CAS3593 filter every time, and change my oil every 6000kms which is about 3728 miles. I have heard good things about the efficiency of the Castrol filters.
Pros: good efficiency
Mileage: 6000 km
Part number: CAS3593
Use full synthetic Mobil one or Castrol Change every 7k miles. And the oil filter too.
Pros: full synthetic recommended
Mileage: 7000 km
That won’t happen if you were using a K&N oil filter. All these cheap brand filters are not sturdy and will collapse when you’re trying to take them off when stuck… either The Black K&N select filter or the white Premium filter will avoid this problem from happening…
Pros: sturdy, avoids collapsing
Cons: cheap filters collapse
Yes, Castrol gtx and a KN oil filter
K&N is good but sacrifices filtration for flow for better performance.
Pros: good performance, better flow
Cons: sacrifices filtration

Not sure about mobil1 filters, but stay away from K&N oil filters. I've just used one for an oil flush after extensive maintenance work, and after just 100 km it had collapsed.
Cons: collapsed after 100km
Mileage: 100 km
K&N filters are some of the worst quality filters on the market.
Cons: worst quality
KN filters are gay, watch freedom worx YouTube video about Oem vs KN filters. You'll wanna swap right back!
Cons: KN filters are gay
