K&N Oil Filter HP-3002

[mudbuggy]

What is your first choice for an oil filter? I picked up an K&N oil Filter from Autozone, I'm actually just under my mileage. Figured I'll be doing more towing this year so if I can keep this motor another year, I'll give this a shot. What do you guys use?

 

[ChrisPerry]

Wix is the only one I will use.

Wix or a Napa Gold

 

[ChrisPerry]

Isn't Napa Gold made by Wix?

 

[ryoken]

yup, that's why I'll run em in a pinch when I can't get Wix..

wix or acdelco for me. Ive heard k&n makes good oil filters.

Only one Ive heard not to use is fram. I know several engine builders that hate them.

Been using WIX for probably close to 30 years.

K&N is a great filter. The quality and rigidity is very good. They just came out with stainless reusable filters too.. Frams are horrible.. WIX is another extremely good filter


I'm sorry there BILLET .

That's one expensive oil filter!!! What does cleaning/changing the filter element entail?

Wix

I had a choice between fram and the K&N so I went this way. I don't think this one is cleanable. I do like the nut on the bottom, just helps make one thing easier.

I should post up.some pictures of some filters I cut apart. Amazing how bad
Fram, STP, Pennzoil filters are.

And yes, I run wix also.

I cut open a fram the other day on a jeep at work with no oil pressure. I was far from impressed with what was in there.

I only use mopar or wix. Oh wait, wix makes the mopar filter too.

A really well made filter is a new one called

Pentus <<<< spelling?

At least a few years old. But all metal ends, solid working by pass. Solid construction.

K&N is same as a Mobil 1 filter (with a little nut on the bottom). They are Excellent filters. They use a synthetic fiber media, not paper, holds up much longer and filters smaller particles.

Here is an excellent filter comparo: http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html

K&N, Mobil 1, or AC Delco FTW
