RE: oil change
Why use a junk filter to help maintain your expensive to replace engine, well Gee, let me think!!!
Why burn good gas, why run new tires when you can run used or better yet recaps.
I am always amazed when I see a question like this.

Right on, Mike!
I've been using the high performance K&N Filters on all my cars and Harley's for the last 20 years. An extra $4is a small price to pay foroil with less contaminants running around in your engine block.
I swear, I'll never understand the thought process of somepeople!

RE: oil change
That is an obnoxious answer. I have worked in the industry for over 10 years now. Show me data that your K&N filter is better than a Wix. We all know K&N air filters dont filter nearly as many particles as a A/C Delco. I mean seriously run out and wast some more money. Come talk to me when you reach 400,000 miles on your motor. Then I will give you credit for your accomplishment.

RE: oil change
Better yet, you come talk to me when you have 30 years in the shop, then we will be on an equal plain.
The3re have been many oil filter tests over the years that back my stand, with time you'll figure it out.
As for the K&N air filter, it is trash compared to their filter based on the quality of filter media, the number of square inches and their stainless steel valving.

Stick to the oil filter topic.
And BTW,all the premium oil filters like K&N, Amsoil, Mobil1, WIX Racing etc that cost $9.00 or so will outperform the $3.00 el cheapo filters that you buy. Reason being, they have more filter area to trap particles as low as 10 microns, impregnated celulose filter media to produce high flow rates, anti drain back valves to prevent dry starts and a more durable construction.
Believe what you want, but keep in mind you get what you pay for!
