Oil filter OEM BMW or K&N

I’ve been using Mobil 1 in everything I have ever had since I first got my drivers license; never had a problem with it yet.

I also religiously use K&N oil filters because they work well, and I like the “wrench off” feature they have.

I get the k&n oil filter since it lasts for 20k miles

When doing oil changes buy a K&n oil filter.

Sometimes I can make 2500 and have actually reached 3k miles without adding oil.

Cheap ones are crazy and every time I use the oil filter I get at Walmart oil changes I’m adding oil at 1500 miles.

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.

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

My mechanic said that a small amount of metal flakes in the engine oil filter is normal, but the amount here is significant and shows theres a something going wrong.

i had a k&n on my car, immediately i noticed how much lighter and cheaper feeling it was compared to the previous bosch filter i had, also noticed it had a round gasket opposed to the flat one found on most oil filters, but despite this i ran it anyways, a month goes by and i notice my car is starting to leave puddles of oil everywhere, i put it in the shop and lift it up and sure enough the oil is leaking right from the shitty gasket on the k&n filter, replaced it with a bosch and haven’t had an issue

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
