Oil filter K&N or Mobil

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.

8th and 9th gen Si. I use a KN oil filter. Never had any issues, both cars fully built.

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.

I usually buy my own oil and filter the 20k mileage mobile one brand and have a shop do it for 20 but I’m 500 miles away from home. I change it at 10k miles just to be sure. I’m away from home to often to change every 3-5k miles so this 20k mileage stuff is great and haven’t had a single issue!

Now I pay only for oil and filter, about 60 bucks use Mobil 1 full synthetic European Formula.

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.

I get the k&n oil filter since it lasts for 20k miles

Mobil 1 Extended Performance M1C-451 Plastic end caps (blue). Maybe viton seals on the filter? Says product of USA Rated up to 15,000 miles... which sounds worse than the stock filter (30,000 km...)

Mobil 1 filters are made by Champion Labs, which they use a louvered center core. The downside is, consistency, as the louvers have a tendency to be not be completely punched open.

Mine was my oil filter! I used a k&n because they come with a oil change reminder sticker. Leaked like mad.
