Oil filter K&N or OEM Mazda

Personally i use these:

Oil filter is a 204-1 so for £8 it's worth buying K&N

And as for oil i use Shell Ultra 4T 10W40 (Fully synthetic). I use this in all my bikes as i find it really enduring and reasonably priced if you know where to look.

I do use Mazda filter rather than aftermarket.

I go for K&N. No complaints. Also, they have that nut on the end, so you can wrench it off.

I've been running Castrol 5w40 in my cars for years. Started in my '99 Beetle 2.0 and now my 1.8T GTI. I use the K&N filter but I get the one for the Passat since its larger.

Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.

K&N filters are beefier, my old VRs filters used to come out looking like that. The only filter that would withstand the vr and keep its shape was the k & n

I use K&N oil filters sometimes, a little cheaper than oem but they are quality.

I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.

Most cars in my house get cheap bulk ordered filters off RockAuto. Except the STI, that one has been getting K&N and soon switching to Wix. I’d never allow the oem trash cardboard filter near my car.

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