Oil filter LIQUI MOLY or K&N
Reviews
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
I have religiously changed the oil and oil filter every 5k miles with Liqui Moly TopTec 4200 (with VW spec).
Pros: religiously changed oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 71000 km
I was using Kirkland synthetic before for topping off and other American oils for oil changes I’m sure, but then I went to a euro auto shop and they switched out for a German filter and oil, LIQUI MOLY, and I got a significant increase in mileage.
Pros: significant increase in mileage
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Honda OEM filter (Honda used Tokyo Roki oil filters for my bike ????) I used to buy Motul 7100 4T, however the price on that recently SKYROCKETED… it’s almost 80$cad before taxes for 4L (60$ for 1.05669Gal for you freedom folks).I refuse to pay that much for oil, so I now I buy Liqui-Moly Street 4T. And that’s basically the same price that the Motul USED to cost. 50$ (35 eagles, or whatever) I am aware that Motul 7100 has esters added to it, which Liqui-Moly Street does not, and that technically Motul 7100 is a better oil. But it’s not double the price better… I was willing to pay 60$cad, but not 80$cad lol.If I can find Bel-Ray EXP (another ester blend) at the shop, I’ll buy that too :P but Liqui-Moly seems to be much easier to find.
Pros: same price as Motul, easy to find
Cons: price increase, no esters
Vehicle:
Honda
Last weekend I did DSG fluid and filter, LiquiMoly oil flush and oil change, and tire rotation on my B6 Passat.
Pros: easy fluid changes
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B6
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 use Rotella T6 5w40 with K&N HP oil filter on my 03 DE daily/drift car.
Vehicle:
Nissan
Oil is oil, however those K&N filters are trash, definitely wouldn’t put that in my car.
Cons: trash, bad quality
Vehicle:
Lexus
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
