I am about to change oil and oil filter and i just wondering is this oil filter better than the original nissan filter. I also use K&N drop in filter and very happy about it.

btw my local Kragen sell K&N oil filter for 9.99.

 

do the search on this forum...it's on top right corner...there a bunch of write up about oil filter..

but the best 3 from what I read are Amsoil, Mobil 1, and K&N.

 

stick with nissan sanjay..

 

bought the cleaning and re-oiling kit for 8.50......

 

i used a Purolator and a Fram and those two are very nice comparing to the oem ones. i also hear good things about the mobil 1 filters.

 

LOL... OIL filter...

I read somewhere that the K&N and Mobil1 oil filters are the same...

 

really i tried the search function.. but can't come up with anything..

anyway.. i would never put FRAM oil filter in my car.. that oil filter is junk.

i change my oil filter yesterday with K&N and very happy about it.

 

oops

 

I would like to no where it was. Based on Amsoil tests, the K&N wasn't all that great. Amsoil, Mobil 1, Purolator, Napa Gold, etc. topped them.

Of course, where/how filters are made seems to change every year or two.....

 

It was from one of those "follow the link" things after searching for the right filter for my oil cooler... I'll see if I can find the site again. They stripped down each filter and measured SA, antidrain back... different construction material, etc.. K&N came in after the Mobil 1 filter by a narrow margin.

 

Couldn't find the other site but this one is close...

This one was an older test without K&N...

Great info.. i guess i will stick with either mobil 1 or K&N for the rest of my car's life.

Thanks.

 

Please do not just make such a vague title.

"Is the K&N oil filter better than the original Nissan Filter?" would get you more responses and let people know what it is you are looking for.

 

Why are you so Grumpy?

 

Vague titles = fewer viewers = even fewer intelligent responses = waste of bandwidth = why bother posting

 

Cut the rookie a break. It was his/her first or second post!
