Oil filter K&N or Wix
I use the K&N 170 on my 1999 883C, have for years. Not sure why Amazon is saying "not for your model", I've literally been using it for the last 16 years and 70,000 miles, and have ordered 6 of them from Amazon over that time period.
Been running this on my 03’ hatch and it’s been great.
The oil, no, K&N filters I've been using for almost a decade. Doesn't seem to have any issues. And I like the 1 inch nut on it.
I don't recommend Fram filters. I like Wix filters for budget and Quality.
For example, a Wix XP filters out 99% of material, at 35 microns, however the standard Wix filter can filter out 95% of material at 23 microns. That means the "cheap" Wix filter captures materials that are approximately 35% smaller than the "expensive" filter.
Wix is better than OEM. On my second 2.4l theata engine. Gave my old Sorrento to my daughter with 157000 miles on it and at 202000 it's still running strong but it burns about a quart a week with heavy driving. Currently driving a 2015 sonata sport and it's still going strong at 90000 miles.
Use Wix xp filters, they are metal with a rubber gasket that doesn't come off
Delco and fram filters are no different. Wix is 100% way better and a lot less when you have a commercial account
I really don’t wanna be that guy but just throw the wix out others might sell but wix is actually like the worst from experience at least from around here
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.
