vs
Oil filter K&N or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I am not sure if you can and have a place to do it on your own but I bought oil vacuum pump couple years ago and changing oils myself since then. I have a Volkswagen and oil filter easily accessible from the top.
Pros: easily accessible from top
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I highly recommend getting the k&n oil filter having a socket ready filter saves so much frustration
Pros: socket ready filter
Cons: frustration
I run Valvoline full synthetic 5w30 high mileage formula with a K&N oil filter.
I use K&N 1008 on my 13, the OEM is slightly higher capacity but I think it affects pressure, and I get a light tick on occasion with OE.
Cons: light tick with OE
Part number: 1008
8th and 9th gen Si. I use a KN oil filter. Never had any issues, both cars fully built.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I haven't changed the oil yet on my Civic but I will use a K&N filter when I do. First off it has a K&N intake and I like to use similar/same brands, and also K&N filters come with a nut welded to them which makes them way easier to loosen, no fucking around with a filter wrench needed.
Pros: easy to loosen
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I’ve been using Mobil 1 in everything I have ever had since I first got my drivers license; never had a problem with it yet.
I also religiously use K&N oil filters because they work well, and I like the “wrench off” feature they have.
Pros: works well, wrench off feature
VW Touareg V6 roughly $600 at an independent euro mechanic for regular service
Cons: expensive regular service
Vehicle:

I changed my oil yesterday and was baffled to see how dirty my oil was at 5k miles!! Those k&n oil filters may have higher flow but mannnn do they get dirty. Do not recommend.
Cons: gets dirty quickly
Mileage: 5000 km
Those KN filters are so tiny and I have had one break in my NA Ford Falcon so I don't use them any more.
Cons: filters are so tiny, one break
Vehicle:
Ford
