Oil filter K&N or VALVOLINE
I just put Valvoline full synthetic high mileage 5w-20 with a motorcraft filter in my 2011, and it runs so smooth now. I used to have some noise on startup but nothing now.
Pros: runs smooth, no startup noise
Cons: startup noise before
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.
second oil change i used 0w-30 with a KN oil filter and it felt like it had more torque off the line. It could just be a placebo effect but that's what I feel.
Pros: felt more torque
Cons: could be placebo effect
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
I refuse to buy K&N after one failed and burst apart on my Honda CB1100 a couple of years ago.
Cons: failed and burst apart
Vehicle:
Honda
The "valvoline" brand ones are pretty shit.
Cons: pretty shit
