Oil filter K&N or OEM Honda

i use oem filters for my 2004 SiR, they’re pretty much the same price as any other good filters on the market

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.

OEM filter every time. 9th gen. Why cheap out?I’m already saving 50 bucks changing the oil myself might as well invest it back in the car.

I only use the OEM filters. They do the job perfectly, I have no reason to try my luck with a different one.

8th gen Si sedan. Honda filter only! They cost about the same as whatever shit filter you're going to buy at autozone anyway.

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.

second oil change i used 0w-30 with a KN oil filter and it felt like it had more torque off the line. It could just be a placebo effect but that's what I feel.

i had a k&n on my car, immediately i noticed how much lighter and cheaper feeling it was compared to the previous bosch filter i had, also noticed it had a round gasket opposed to the flat one found on most oil filters, but despite this i ran it anyways, a month goes by and i notice my car is starting to leave puddles of oil everywhere, i put it in the shop and lift it up and sure enough the oil is leaking right from the shitty gasket on the k&n filter, replaced it with a bosch and haven’t had an issue

The K&N for my car was literally half as thick as the oe, and for that reason alone I swapped back. Yes it was the right one. Personally I’d rather just swap the filter than clean and re oil one that is probably doing a worse job
