vs
Oil filter K&N or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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.
Pros: pretty good
For oil i used : Motul 7100 10W-40 (4L but only 3L required.)
K&N KN-303 Filter
Part number: KN-303
Ive never had a single issue using either mobil 1 or valvoline in any of the cars I've owned. K&N filters typically.
Pros: no issues
If you're vehicle manufacturer has an extended change interval then this filter will work with that. Some Porsches have 20,000 mile changes intervals and this filter is able to last that interval. Do the oil change as is recommended by your manufacturer. The K&N oil filters are killer and treat your car well.
Pros: long lasting, good quality
Vehicle:
Porsche
Mileage: 20000 km
you can slap some new wheels on for a fresher look but obviously do this with number 2 in mind.
Pros: fresher look
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Lancer
I have used K&N filter the entire time on my car. Owned it for almost 5 years and never had a problem.
Pros: no problems, long lasting
I have a 2013 Jetta that calls for 5W-40. I only use oil filters purchased directly from Volkswagen, and I only use Castrol oil. I've had positive results doing this
Pros: positive results
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
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
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
