I go for K&N. No complaints. Also, they have that nut on the end, so you can wrench it off.
Pros: no complaints

Cons: old fluid red`ish
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 49889 km
Original owner of a mk6 R here :wave: my R has ~50k miles on the clock. lightly modded (see sig) and I have never had any issues other than normal wear stuff. plugs/oil/filters u know. car still feels very close to new.

Cons: normal wear stuff
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf

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
I have purchased a new genuine plug, crush washer and oil filter and plan to change the oil and parts together

Pros: full synthetic, performance filters

K&N filters are beefier, my old VRs filters used to come out looking like that. The only filter that would withstand the vr and keep its shape was the k & n
Pros: beefier, keeps its shape
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
second oil change i used 0w-30 with a KN oil filter and it felt like it had more torque off the line. It could just be a placebo effect but that's what I feel.
Pros: felt more torque
Cons: could be placebo effect
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
K&N filter is not as good as OE and just about expensive.
Cons: not as good as OE, expensive
Vehicle:
