Oil filter Mahle or K&N

What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.

I'm currently running a Mahle OC75 filter, its easier to get from Amazon, and it is only slightly longer. I go back and forth between 15W50 in the winter and 20W50 in the warmer months. The 15W is synthetic and 20W isn't.

I used to get cheap Mahle oil filters for my K100 on Amazon for $15 or so

I use Mahle filters in both my VR6 and 2.5 from first oil change. No issues.

I've used AMSOIL Signature in my recent change in my 3.8 with a K&N Filter. I gotta say it's pretty damn good. Engine cranks right up and feels so much more smoother.

Personally i use these:

Oil filter is a 204-1 so for £8 it's worth buying K&N

And as for oil i use Shell Ultra 4T 10W40 (Fully synthetic). I use this in all my bikes as i find it really enduring and reasonably priced if you know where to look.

Mahle. Best pleat design I’ve seen and according to Volvo, their primary reason they selected Mahle over MANN or Hengst.

I also noticed it seems like it made more noise with a K&N oil filter vs Mobil 1 filter.

The K&N for my car was literally half as thick as the oe, and for that reason alone I swapped back. Yes it was the right one. Personally I’d rather just swap the filter than clean and re oil one that is probably doing a worse job

As good as their airfilters are... their oil filters are as shite. They leak and are downright dangerous.
