Oil filter K&N or Wix

I use a wix filter that has a filter key that attaches to my ratchet. Never get oiled up all!

I bought a 12 pack of wix for my 8th gen, never had a problem and I’ve used 11 of them so far.

I’ve found them to be good

Filter Used : K&N HP-1008 (has a nut built into the filter for a 1" socket; recommended)

Im a wix guy personally and have read good things about them in the past. Ive subjected my car to a couple dozen track events with temps exceeding 280 degrees and have Blackstone Lab reports that have come back fine and "within spec" for their analysis. This is enough for me to keep using them.

I have used K&N oil filters my entire life and never once had one leak from the nut portion of the filter housing

I have been using exclusively Wix filters on my oil changes for a couple years. I have had my oil analyzed multiple times on multiple engines, always a clean report. I'll stick with Wix.

K&N is good but sacrifices filtration for flow for better performance.

Your best bet is to order the proper Mahle filter from your favorite e-tailer and keep it on standby. You could pick up a K&N at Cycle Gear but K&N have a bad reputation in the industry and I’d generally stay away from them.

It\u2019s crap. Most filters are 20 microns; K&N have one that\u2019s 10. Put your money into getting a better oil filter instead of buying into the snake oil.
