Anybody ever use these? Any big difference from a Purolator?

 

Have never personally used one, but most filter tests/reviews rate them quite high, about on par with the Purolator Pure-One and the Mobil 1 filter, just under the Wix and Amsoil filters...

 

there have been a few threads here about them but they are not cheap. They cost too much for me.

 

I have one on my truck right now, but thats because of the sale that advance auot had on RP + KN filter for $40. I haven't noticed anything special about them other than the nut welded to the bottom for easier removal/install.

I've been using them for a while now. Amazon had a deal, so I scarfed up about ten for the Hemis and six or so for my Mazda and the Camry (fortunately they use the same filter). I like that 1" nut on the bottom. That combined with my Fumoto valves make oil changes a breeze. The filters ran a bit over $9 each and free shipping. I'm set for filters for a few years, now.

 

I've been using the K&N oil filters for a few years now. They have worked well and the nut on the bottom makes removing it very easy, especially on cars that have access issues.

 

lol i use nothing but quakerstate ..filters and oil. cant beat 7 bucks for an oil filter

 

^^ uh, have you shopped around? lol

I get my WIX for $6 from O'Reillys (who has a rep for being expensive)

Are you using conventional quaker state? or synthetic?

 

Filtering capabiliteis with Synthetic media fiber oil filters goes as follows;

1.) Purolator PureOne
2.) Mobil 1
3.) K&N

Purolator makes their own filters, but Champion Labs makes both Mobil 1 and K&N filters. Basically, the K&N is less restrictive which means is filters slightly less so it can flow slighty higher.
PureOne is the cheapest priced and K&N is the highest.

 

i stick with mopar filters.
