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.
OEM Hyundai oil filters have a better anti-drainback valve than aftermarket filters, and they're cheap enough to use every time you change your oil. While I've used Mobil 1, Wix, and K&N oil filters on my other vehicles, my Elantra GT ONLY gets OEM filters. Personally, I wouldn't switch to aftermarket.
Here's the solution : your cam shaft position sensor is overheating and trying to save the engine by shutting it off prematurely instead of forcing limp mode. The fix is to use a Hyundai OEM oil filter, and check the gaskets/seals, then replace the cam sensor and crank sensor. I did this and never had a problem again.
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.
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
Picked up a K&N clean it every 5-6 months with my Pennzoil Platinum oil change. I got the filter with Ford loyalty points when I bought the car. Always use K&N.
I wanted to get a Wix filter last time, but they were out. I ended up getting a k&n and it's pretty good.
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.
Your best bet is to order the proper Mahle filter from your favorite e-tailer and keep it on standby. You could pick up a K&N at Cycle Gear but K&N have a bad reputation in the industry and I’d generally stay away from them.
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.
