Oil filter K&N or MOTUL
I use the K&N 170 on my 1999 883C, have for years. Not sure why Amazon is saying "not for your model", I've literally been using it for the last 16 years and 70,000 miles, and have ordered 6 of them from Amazon over that time period.
Pros: reliable, long lasting
Mileage: 70000 km
Part number: 170
Been running this on my 03’ hatch and it’s been great.
Pros: been great
The oil, no, K&N filters I've been using for almost a decade. Doesn't seem to have any issues. And I like the 1 inch nut on it.
Pros: no issues, like the nut
Vehicle:
Subaru
If opting for third-party filters, choose high-quality brands like WIX, Purolator, or K&N, which offer reliable alternatives that match Subaru’s specifications.
Pros: reliable alternatives
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
i use k&n wrench off filters because they use solid oem designs, but add a useful hex head i can use for when i was an idiot before and cranked it on there calling it hand tight XD
Pros: solid oem designs, useful hex head
If I really care about the car, I use Motul and a factory filter.
Pros: factory filter
OEM. I order a bunch off of Rock Auto. Two of the K&Ns I've had leaked just the tiniest bit but enough to be annoying. Granted, I'm not on a stock turbo or stock by any means, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Cons: tiny leaks, annoying
It\u2019s crap. Most filters are 20 microns; K&N have one that\u2019s 10. Put your money into getting a better oil filter instead of buying into the snake oil.
Pros: better oil filter
Cons: crap, snake oil
I run the mobil 1 filter but oem is a good option. I used to use K&N but had the issue of not one but two of them leaking around the gasket.
Cons: leaking around the gasket
Oil is oil, however those K&N filters are trash, definitely wouldn’t put that in my car.
Cons: trash, bad quality
Vehicle:
Lexus
