Oil filter Fram or K&N

I use the K&N 170 on my 1999 883C, have for years. Not sure why Amazon is saying "not for your model", I've literally been using it for the last 16 years and 70,000 miles, and have ordered 6 of them from Amazon over that time period.

Been running this on my 03’ hatch and it’s been great.

The oil, no, K&N filters I've been using for almost a decade. Doesn't seem to have any issues. And I like the 1 inch nut on it.

Have used FRAM oil filters for 45 years, GMC trucks, VW, Honda, multiple Nissan trucks and never an issue all engines lasted till crashed or sold.

I use fram filters, full synthetic 5w-20, for the last 150k miles. Total cost is like $25 at walmart. I am right at 210k miles now with oil changes EVERY 5k miles.

Runs good, but burns a quart by 5k miles.

First and only time i tried a k&n filter the bypass valve did not open and oil sprayed everywhere .I Will never try one again.

I used a Fram filter on my VW and it developed a knocking ticking sound lol. Switched it out for a Mann and it was fine.

I’ve worked on Subarus for over 20 years now and almost every blowed engine has a fram oil filter on it. Easily 75%

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.

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.
