vs
Oil filter K&N or VALVOLINE
Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.
Pros: full synthetic, performance filters
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 3000 km
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
I use K&N oil filters sometimes, a little cheaper than oem but they are quality.
Pros: quality, a little cheaper
I ran K&N oil cone filter on a LT1 motor for 3 years in FL and now for 5 years on my 1.8t. Never any problems whatsoever.
Pros: no problems whatsoever
K&N oil filter / high mileage mobil 1 10/40 fully synthetic oil on my 1.8 16v.
I use mobil 1 0w-40 and k&n filters - when you buy a filter, get the oversized one that VW approved a while back - with k&n part number HP-3001 vs the stock HP-2005 - big ol' hoss filter but screws right on, takes an extra half quart of oil to fill it up :laugh:
Pros: oversized filter, better cleaning
Cons: extra half quart needed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: HP-3001
Been using K&N filters on my 1.8t's with Royal Purple Oil. The two combined seems to leave very little to almost no build up of metal particles on my magnetic drain plug.
Pros: no metal particle buildup
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've been using them for over 10 years and my motor runs like a top.
Pros: motor runs like top
K&N filter is not as good as OE and just about expensive.
Cons: not as good as OE, expensive
Vehicle:
Mazda
Overpriced garbage. There is no proof that these synthetic type filters do any better job filtering than a high quality OEM or equivalent. I use OEM, for $13, at 10K miles pretty inexpensive and oil analysis is always good. OEM is best IMO.
Cons: Overpriced garbage, no proof of better filtering
