Oil filter OEM BMW or K&N
I’ve been using K&N air and oil filters in mine for ten years. I run nothing else and will always run K&N. I’m happy with mine. Oil filter number HP1008. I would recommend. The one inch nut on top is often very helpful getting the filter out. I also run K&N oil and air filters in every vehicle I’ve ever owned. There is a noticeable difference in throttle response for the air filter, but I’ve never seen a difference good or bad in the oil filters.
Pros: easy to remove, reliable
Vehicle:
Mazda
Part number: HP1008
No complaints from my 16 STI running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and K&N filter.
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Subaru
I just paid $98 for an oil change at my local BMW dealer in Northern Virginia. 7 quarts and filter, all taxes and fees included.
Pros: local dealer
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Brand is personal preference tbh.. ive seen good and bad reviews with royal purple but no evidence that its actually bad. My main 2 that i use are Delo 15W-40 Full Synthetic Heavy Duty Turbo Diesel oil and when thats sold out i run Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 15w-40. And i put a K&N oil filter every time, changing oil at 5K miles and ive had no issues using it as a daily and autocross car. Backroads racing on the weekends, roadtrips, some drifting. Got 271K miles on it and no motor issues.
Pros: no motor issues
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 271000 km
Have done many oil changes on both my Tellurides, and used K&N every-time, better quality than OEM.
Pros: better quality than OEM
Vehicle:

My ‘11 CR-V AWD is sitting pretty at 285,000 miles and I’ve been using a combination of Valvoline MaxLife Engine Oil High Mileage Full Synthetic and K&N High Performance Oil Filter for the last 100k miles.
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 285000 km
Valvoline High Mileage w/ K&N Gold filter, I've had no problems, and it runs smooth
Pros: no problems, runs smooth
I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.
As good as their airfilters are... their oil filters are as shite. They leak and are downright dangerous.
Cons: leaks, dangerous
The filter I was running was a K&N. I removed the old filter and it had totally collapsed. The oil light would come on at every stop in the first 10-15 minutes of driving. Especially in cold weather. After changing the old K&N filter that was in horrible condition, I have had no issues whatsoever.
Cons: filter totally collapsed, caused oil light
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
