Oil filter K&N or OEM Toyota

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

When doing oil changes buy a K&n oil filter.

Sometimes I can make 2500 and have actually reached 3k miles without adding oil.

Cheap ones are crazy and every time I use the oil filter I get at Walmart oil changes I’m adding oil at 1500 miles.

Dealerships will use their branded parts, which is the OEM (manufacturer) provided part. For example during a oil service, Toyota will use their Toyota/Lexus branded oil filters that come in the little red/white box with brand stamping all over it.

Toyota filter 6 bucks and Walmart Mobil one 26 for 5 quarts do it for less than 50 bucks

I use Rotella T6 5w40 with K&N HP oil filter on my 03 DE daily/drift car.

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.

I refuse to buy K&N after one failed and burst apart on my Honda CB1100 a couple of years ago.
