K&N oil filter?
Has anyone ever used a K&N oil filter here before? The oil I buy was on sale the other week so I picked up a couple jugs. With the $ I saved I bought this oil filter. I figured that it'* probably a good oil filter being K&N, but just checking before I change my oil tomorrow.

Right, Fram is the worst filter made.
I've heard good things about the K&N. Not worth the money, in my opinion, unless you drive something a bit more exotic than one of these...
As a better value in a good filter, the PureONE, Wix/Napa Gold, and ACDelco are all good filters. Probably in that order, too.

K&N is a good filter but.......over priced for what you get,, grab a WIX,NG,AC,P1,M1 just
to name a few and you'll get a filter of equal quality and filtration..
Some say they(K&N) gives up a little filtration for flow, i believe it.....

Purolator PureONE is slightly better IMO due to better multi pass fitration abilities. I have used K&N gold filters before and they are not bad. I have noticed my oil to be cleaner when doing oil changes after using the Purolator PureONE as to using a K&N. Does my driving style or the oil I use affect how it looks when I change the oil? possibly. But I know what works best in my car and thats all I can vouch for.

Here is a link to a great site about oil, filter and general automotive lubrication.
http://theoildrop.server101.com/foru...t=0&Board=UBB6
The link is to the oil filter part of the forum, poke around on the site and you should find what you are looking for.
