Oil filter K&N or STP
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 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 Rotella T6 5w40 with K&N HP oil filter on my 03 DE daily/drift car.

Dont buy a Stp, had my oil changed on my 09 Legacy, a few days later I notice a drip and the usual burning smell while driving . Took It back to mechanic and they said there was a dot on filter so they swapped It out. Burning smell still there but leak was not seen, so I bought a Purolator and changed It myself now no problems.
Cons: oil leak, burning smell
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
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
