Oil filter Mahle or K&N

Amsoil and Subaru filters. Other vehicles with horrible oil filter locations I use K&N because I can use a socket to pop them off.

I'm trying out that Rotella T6 5W-40 some of y'all talk about. Just snagged it off Amazon.

I also use K&N filters cause they've got a 1" nut welded on top.

No one ever talks about this but the truth is the oil itself will always way outlast the oil filter. What you should be worried about is the paper filter, not the oil! Can your paper oil filter withstand 10k miles in between changes before slowly disintegrating into the oil? If you use a high quality OEM filter then the answer is yes. I use the original Mahle brand filters for my Audi.

DIY 7500mi interval engine oil using 5qt bottle of Mobil1 0w-20 fuel economy oil (takes the whole thing), a K&N HP-1008 filter (why, because it's so easy to wrench off every time), and a new 9956-41-400 aluminum washer.

I’ve been using K&N air and oil filters in mine for ten years. I run nothing else and will always run K&N. I’m happy with mine. Oil filter number HP1008. I would recommend. The one inch nut on top is often very helpful getting the filter out. I also run K&N oil and air filters in every vehicle I’ve ever owned. There is a noticeable difference in throttle response for the air filter, but I’ve never seen a difference good or bad in the oil filters.

No complaints from my 16 STI running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and K&N filter.

Brand is personal preference tbh.. ive seen good and bad reviews with royal purple but no evidence that its actually bad. My main 2 that i use are Delo 15W-40 Full Synthetic Heavy Duty Turbo Diesel oil and when thats sold out i run Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 15w-40. And i put a K&N oil filter every time, changing oil at 5K miles and ive had no issues using it as a daily and autocross car. Backroads racing on the weekends, roadtrips, some drifting. Got 271K miles on it and no motor issues.

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

I changed my oil yesterday and was baffled to see how dirty my oil was at 5k miles!! Those k&n oil filters may have higher flow but mannnn do they get dirty. Do not recommend.

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.
