Oil filter K&N or Castrol
Ive never had a single issue using either mobil 1 or valvoline in any of the cars I've owned. K&N filters typically.
Pros: no issues
Buy Castrol Edge and the long-life filter from Walmart for best engine protection.
Pros: best engine protection
I did Castrol Edge Euro Car 5W-40 with a Hengst oil filter, but if you want to spend a little extra most people recommend LiquidMoly
Pros: good engine protection
I used the Castrol once, and have been buying the assembled kit from ECS ever since. At 73K miles, now, and change it every 7-8K.
Pros: good performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 73000 km
If you're vehicle manufacturer has an extended change interval then this filter will work with that. Some Porsches have 20,000 mile changes intervals and this filter is able to last that interval. Do the oil change as is recommended by your manufacturer. The K&N oil filters are killer and treat your car well.
Pros: long lasting, good quality
Vehicle:
Porsche
Mileage: 20000 km
you can slap some new wheels on for a fresher look but obviously do this with number 2 in mind.
Pros: fresher look
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Lancer
I have used K&N filter the entire time on my car. Owned it for almost 5 years and never had a problem.
Pros: no problems, long lasting
I use Rotella T6 5w40 with K&N HP oil filter on my 03 DE daily/drift car.
Vehicle:
Nissan
Oil is oil, however those K&N filters are trash, definitely wouldn’t put that in my car.
Cons: trash, bad quality
Vehicle:
Lexus
I changed my oil yesterday and was baffled to see how dirty my oil was at 5k miles!! Those k&n oil filters may have higher flow but mannnn do they get dirty. Do not recommend.
Cons: gets dirty quickly
Mileage: 5000 km
