Oil filter K&N or Castrol
What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.
a 5qt Castrol edge 0w-20 container is $19. + $8 for a filter .. $30 every 5K miles is cheap imo..
Pros: cheap, good price
Mileage: 5000 km
I've used AMSOIL Signature in my recent change in my 3.8 with a K&N Filter. I gotta say it's pretty damn good. Engine cranks right up and feels so much more smoother.
Pros: engine cranks right up, smoother
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Personally i use these:
Oil filter is a 204-1 so for £8 it's worth buying K&N
And as for oil i use Shell Ultra 4T 10W40 (Fully synthetic). I use this in all my bikes as i find it really enduring and reasonably priced if you know where to look.
Pros: enduring, reasonably priced
Part number: 204-1
I use factory filters and 0w40 Castrol (German one) when it’s on sale for $4.99 a qt. I too have 100k on my 2015 gsw 5MT and runs great I been using that oil since new.
Pros: runs great, since new
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 160934 km
I would go with 0w30 or 0w40. I changed my oil and filter at 1k with castrol 0w40 and it runs just fine. I did find a few metal flakes and slivers in my oil filter. Guess they were left overs from being built.
Pros: runs just fine
Cons: metal flakes and slivers
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 1000 km
I go for K&N. No complaints. Also, they have that nut on the end, so you can wrench it off.
Pros: no complaints
I've been running Castrol 5w40 in my cars for years. Started in my '99 Beetle 2.0 and now my 1.8T GTI. I use the K&N filter but I get the one for the Passat since its larger.
Pros: larger filter, good performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Most cars in my house get cheap bulk ordered filters off RockAuto. Except the STI, that one has been getting K&N and soon switching to Wix. I’d never allow the oem trash cardboard filter near my car.
Pros: switching to Wix
Cons: oem trash cardboard filter
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mine was my oil filter! I used a k&n because they come with a oil change reminder sticker. Leaked like mad.
Pros: oil change reminder sticker
Cons: leaked like mad
Vehicle:
