Oil filter K&N or STP
That is why I always buy a k&n filter where can just use a wrench.
Pros: easy to use wrench
I put a K&N nut topped filter on it and never had to do that again!
Pros: easy filter removal
So far K&N is on track to hit 10k before I change my oil again.
Pros: good durability
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 10000 km
In my time of ownership I've been doing oil changes are 7500 miles per the book with a full synthetic mobil 1 and a K&N oil filter since we got it with 155,000 on the clock.
Pros: full synthetic mobil 1
Vehicle:
Ford Edge
Mileage: 249447 km
I’ve found them to be good
Pros: good quality
Filter Used : K&N HP-1008 (has a nut built into the filter for a 1" socket; recommended)
Pros: built-in socket nut
Part number: HP1008
I personally don’t use k&n oil filters. They filter great but I’m not a fan of their flow.
Pros: filter great
Cons: not a fan of their flow
Previously used the k&n one and it always leaked. After 3 filters, i switched
Cons: always leaked
K&N is probably the most annoying with the rounded off nut they expect you to use to get the filter off. I'll never buy one of those again.
Cons: annoying removal, rounded nut
K&N oil filters on the other hand, are like the thread count myth for bedsheets. You are paying a shitton more for 480 Egyptian cotton you'll throw out in 3000 mi.
Cons: expensive, short lifespan
