I use k&n oil filters.they seem to work well. I say this because it takes longer for the oil to become dark when I use them.

they're good filters.

I have done all my own oil changes on my car since purchasing it over 4 years ago and this is the exact same filter that I have been using from the start. It is a very good filter and I will not use any other filter.

I have been using the K&N oil filter since I have had the car. That and Mobil One EP 5W30, changed every 5.5 - 6K.

No issues so far with the K&N. Seem to do its job. I just wasn't about to put a Fram on this car.

BTW, it's $12 at Wal-mart.

WIX57060xp is a real nice filter.

When K&N moved their production to Mexico and Korea, I said Adios Muchachos and 안녕히 가세요.
