I Heard that KN Oil Filters, can help dry start up, Is this true and are they better than a regular oil filter.

 

I don't think any oil filter can prevent the oil from draining into the pan when the engine is off, and they don't have any magical properties that keep the engine lubed. The most they could do is do a better job at filtering the oil that passes through them.

 

I agree, I don't really buy into the claims about preventing dry startup. However, I recently read an independant review that picked them as one of the better ones along with Mobil 1, Wix and Purolator.
BTW, Fram was tested as dead last in filtration tests...

 

The only thing they can do is have a superior bypass valve. During start up that is how the oil can pass through the filter so quickly.

The filter is a bottle-neck in the oil system and that valve allows oil to pass through faster during high PSI. When you are running high RPM's lots of oil is passing right through the valve and not the filter.

 

i use a K&N oil filter and it seems to work pretty nicely.

 

same here

 

The last filter I had was a napa gold (basically a wix) and this one is a K&N. To be honest there really is not much of a difference at all in my opinion. As long asyou have a quality (non-fram) filter you will be fine. I haven't had any oil problems with either filter during any part of the season or under any driving situation. Either way I belive that you get what you paid for and when you use quailty materials your truck and wallet will thank you in the long run.

 

notice its a synthetic filter vs the BS paper filters.. im just over 7k miles into my oil and have another 13k to go...

 

you should get paid to be a fcukin' promoter for amsoil man! any oile question comes up, ramit is sure to tell you how great amsoil is!!! hahaha. good oil though, never used myself. im using the K&N oil filter with royal purple.

 

mobil 1 oilfilteris the way to go im also running 20w50,mobil1 and mines runs excellent ,but that sh** aint cheap
