Oil filter K&N or Hengst
What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.
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 ordered from ECS Tuning - Got 5 qts of Mobil 1 ESP, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, DSG filter, magnetic oil drain plug for $100 shipped. All Hengst or Mann filters.
Pros: good price, quality filters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.
Pros: full synthetic, performance filters
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 3000 km
I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.
since vw started using the synthetic material i am very fond of using oem. ive never seen the synthetic material deteriorate or crush in the housing between oil changes. ive also seen the plastic on those types of hengst filters break apart and that scares me to use.
Pros: synthetic material, does not deteriorate
Cons: plastic breaks apart
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: HU6002Z
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:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
