Oil filter OEM BMW or K&N

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.

I just paid $98 for an oil change at my local BMW dealer in Northern Virginia. 7 quarts and filter, all taxes and fees included.

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.

Have done many oil changes on both my Tellurides, and used K&N every-time, better quality than OEM.

My ‘11 CR-V AWD is sitting pretty at 285,000 miles and I’ve been using a combination of Valvoline MaxLife Engine Oil High Mileage Full Synthetic and K&N High Performance Oil Filter for the last 100k miles.

Valvoline High Mileage w/ K&N Gold filter, I've had no problems, and it runs smooth

I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.

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

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.
