Oil filter K&N or OEM FORD
K&N oil filter / high mileage mobil 1 10/40 fully synthetic oil on my 1.8 16v.
I use mobil 1 0w-40 and k&n filters - when you buy a filter, get the oversized one that VW approved a while back - with k&n part number HP-3001 vs the stock HP-2005 - big ol' hoss filter but screws right on, takes an extra half quart of oil to fill it up :laugh:
Pros: oversized filter, better cleaning
Cons: extra half quart needed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: HP-3001
Been using K&N filters on my 1.8t's with Royal Purple Oil. The two combined seems to leave very little to almost no build up of metal particles on my magnetic drain plug.
Pros: no metal particle buildup
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've been using them for over 10 years and my motor runs like a top.
Pros: motor runs like top
I got a Hengst Oil filter and two Mann Oil filters. I prefer to use K&N Oil filters. Right now I'm using a Fram.
Pros: prefers K&N Oil filters
A K & n oil filter is a good filter 2 use. I work at a car dealership and checking out the quality the k&n vs oem, the k&n is a better filter. I usually use them or mobile one on my car.
Pros: good filter, better quality
I use a K & N passat filter. Its the same (I think) you get the added oil capacity.
Pros: added oil capacity
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.
Overpriced garbage. There is no proof that these synthetic type filters do any better job filtering than a high quality OEM or equivalent. I use OEM, for $13, at 10K miles pretty inexpensive and oil analysis is always good. OEM is best IMO.
Cons: Overpriced garbage, no proof of better filtering
im glad others have had a positive experience but mine was not so good. Used one once on my old Golf and it came apart inside the housing. Wrote a letter, they said it was an isolated few that were assembled poorly. Got reimbursed and coupon for other K&N products.
Pros: Got reimbursed for product
Cons: came apart inside housing
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
