Oil filter K&N or Wix

I use Wix oil filters because they're cheaper than the Kawi ones, and I've used the wix brand for the better part of a decade and had no issues with it on any of my vehicles.

Make sure you pair the oil with a high-quality filter. I prefer Wix.

I've used Fram, Supertech, Denso, O'Reilly or Autozone store brands, WIX.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w/20 with Wix/Napa Gold filters. -been relentless about 5k services, @45k now.

-just received my first ever Blackstone Lab analysis, TBN numbers were still extremely good. Blackstone advised me to push my next service to 7500 miles.

-the oil that was sampled, was still a very light Carmel color - I feel guilty throwing away oil that still looks this good

I use OEM filters on both, but I’ll use Wix filters if I’m not around the dealer.

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

I bought a 10 Wix filters off of Rockauto. Part #: 51394. Each one was $4.80 and shipping was $10. Came out to be roughly the same price as buying OEM ones from a dealership off of eBay and I would rather use Wix ones.

Wix is considered to be good, and it’s not expensive and readily available (can walk into local O’Reilly and buy off the shelf). Subaru OEM works if you’re close to a dealership or think to order it; I never remember to order and my local dealer is terrible, so I avoid them.

I supplied my own oil filter, a Wix 57002 for my 2020 6.

The filter I was running was a K&N. I removed the old filter and it had totally collapsed. The oil light would come on at every stop in the first 10-15 minutes of driving. Especially in cold weather. After changing the old K&N filter that was in horrible condition, I have had no issues whatsoever.
