vs
Oil filter LIQUI MOLY or K&N
Reviews
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’ve always used 5w40 liquimoly with either a k&n or Mann filter.
Pros: always used 5w40
I use K&N 1008 on my 13, the OEM is slightly higher capacity but I think it affects pressure, and I get a light tick on occasion with OE.
Cons: light tick with OE
Part number: 1008
8th and 9th gen Si. I use a KN oil filter. Never had any issues, both cars fully built.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I haven't changed the oil yet on my Civic but I will use a K&N filter when I do. First off it has a K&N intake and I like to use similar/same brands, and also K&N filters come with a nut welded to them which makes them way easier to loosen, no fucking around with a filter wrench needed.
Pros: easy to loosen
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
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
