Oil filter K&N or Motorcraft

I run Valvoline full synthetic 5w30 high mileage formula with a K&N oil filter.

$5 Motorcraft oil filter from Rock Auto

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’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

I also noticed it seems like it made more noise with a K&N oil filter vs Mobil 1 filter.

I changed my oil yesterday and was baffled to see how dirty my oil was at 5k miles!! Those k&n oil filters may have higher flow but mannnn do they get dirty. Do not recommend.

Those KN filters are so tiny and I have had one break in my NA Ford Falcon so I don't use them any more.
