Oil filter Mahle or K&N
I run Valvoline full synthetic 5w30 high mileage formula with a K&N oil filter.
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
I’ve been using Mobil 1 in everything I have ever had since I first got my drivers license; never had a problem with it yet.
I also religiously use K&N oil filters because they work well, and I like the “wrench off” feature they have.
Pros: works well, wrench off feature
I get the k&n oil filter since it lasts for 20k miles
Pros: lasts for 20k miles
Mileage: 20000 km
When doing oil changes buy a K&n oil filter.
Sometimes I can make 2500 and have actually reached 3k miles without adding oil.
Cheap ones are crazy and every time I use the oil filter I get at Walmart oil changes I’m adding oil at 1500 miles.
Pros: extend mileage without adding oil
Cons: cheap ones are crazy
Daca imi aduc aminte, doar un filtru de ulei de la Mahle a venit diferit fata de cel pe care il luasem inainte cu un an; Made in China vs Made in Austria.
Pros: made in Austria
Cons: made in China
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I run the mobil 1 filter but oem is a good option. I used to use K&N but had the issue of not one but two of them leaking around the gasket.
Cons: leaking around the gasket
Oil is oil, however those K&N filters are trash, definitely wouldn’t put that in my car.
Cons: trash, bad quality
Vehicle:
Lexus
