Oil filter Mahle or K&N
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
MAHLE is the OE supplier for the Hyundai/KIA filter you're trying to get.
Pros: OE supplier
Vehicle:
Hyundai
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
Mahle is the way. Allegedly the OEM maker and after using them for a year they look and feel exactly the same.
Pros: same as OEM, long lasting
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
OEM. I order a bunch off of Rock Auto. Two of the K&Ns I've had leaked just the tiniest bit but enough to be annoying. Granted, I'm not on a stock turbo or stock by any means, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Cons: tiny leaks, annoying
Your best bet is to order the proper Mahle filter from your favorite e-tailer and keep it on standby. You could pick up a K&N at Cycle Gear but K&N have a bad reputation in the industry and I’d generally stay away from them.
Cons: bad reputation
It\u2019s crap. Most filters are 20 microns; K&N have one that\u2019s 10. Put your money into getting a better oil filter instead of buying into the snake oil.
Pros: better oil filter
Cons: crap, snake oil
