Oil filter K&N or VALVOLINE

I got a Hengst Oil filter and two Mann Oil filters. I prefer to use K&N Oil filters. Right now I'm using a Fram.

A K & n oil filter is a good filter 2 use. I work at a car dealership and checking out the quality the k&n vs oem, the k&n is a better filter. I usually use them or mobile one on my car.

I use a K & N passat filter. Its the same (I think) you get the added oil capacity.

I use K&N, just because my local discount always has it in stock.

They're on the high end, though not the absolute best, in terms of the length of filter material/number of pleats. The construction quality is good - all metal and rubber, no cardboard. The cans are tough as hell.

I've been running K&N oil filters on my racecar for the better part of 4 years now - same engine, no rebuilds but I perform very regular maintenance. I regularly change the oil at the beginning of every season and proceed to thrash the crap out of my 1.8l 16v for about 1300 miles (most at or around the redline). I haven't had any ill effects due to low filtration, high pressure, low pressure, drain back, etc - all this on an engine that is six seasons old!!

I put one in the Passat a few months ago just for the sake of a better engineered product. It was a cold night for my turbocharged engine, so any greater power I felt I'm sure was imagined. Don't count on it. Just do it for a better quality filter that lasts longer.

I've used them for the past couple of years on my 'tique. No problems at all. I like them.

im glad others have had a positive experience but mine was not so good. Used one once on my old Golf and it came apart inside the housing. Wrote a letter, they said it was an isolated few that were assembled poorly. Got reimbursed and coupon for other K&N products.

hp-2005 will not fit my car. discount auto parts sold that to me after looking in their "data bases". it was wrong though because when i got home and went to do the change, naw. im a 1995 if that helps you out at all. the hp-2005 isnt cartridge type like i/we need
