the mopars are crap. If I remember right, they're frams. and frams are crap.

wix, mobil 1, purolator, i'll whatever's cheapest

 

i always use a K$N filter!

 

Who is the manufacture of the K&N filter? Feels like it is just a rebrand of another filter. I occasionally will line up the different brands and do a little visual comparison. It surprises me the actual difference between the filters. Some have the appearance of being well made and others are just cheap stampings.

 

I refuse to pay that much for a filter with a nut on the bottom. I have used Frams for years on all kinds of rides and never not once had any issues. My dads last Dodge Ram (98 5.9) has a little over 250k on it when he sold it and he always used a fram.

 

K&N is all I use. Good filter, but that 1" nut on the bottom is the big plus for me. The K&N filter and the Fumoto valve combo makes oil changes a breeze.

 

I have a K&N filter on mine right now, mostly because O'Reilly's had a sale that was RP oil + KN filter for $40. I have run Frams on all of my previous vehicles (along with my father running Frams on everything he has owned for the last 15 years +) and never had a problem. I will continue to run K&N's if they have them in that package deal at O'Reilly's, if not, i am not too concerned running something else. The nut on the bottom of the K&N does make it easier to change, but so does the bed liner material on the Fram...

I may just be a cheap bastard, but I've ran Mopar's since I bought the truck. Never had any oil related issues or anything that could be caused by a crap *** oil filter.

 

I have used the K&N oil filter the last 2 oil changes with the Mobil 1 oil. No problems or complaints. Out Advanced Auto usually has a sale on the oil and get a filter with it deal.

 

a golden oil filter comparsion !!!!!!!

yea he says the same thing as I thought, K&N is just another companys filter with a nut welded on the end. I use them because of the RP/filter deal at oreillys. When pep boys runs the RP oil deal they include a RP filter, which is supposed to be really good
