Thanks for mentioning not to tighten the filter using the nut. Very important.
I’d never run oil for 18,000. Never.
Agreed.
Walter Palmer
That's a lot of miles for 13 months and 18,000 miles on a oil filter is crazy.
@@markofexcellence5209 I would rethink the mobile 1 not the Amsoil MOBILE IS NOT 100 PCT SYNTHETIC .Mobile one is a highly refine conventional petroleum oil with additives used to make a synthetic blend.Amsoil is 100 pct man made oil which has zero impurities unlike Mobil .Also at one time Mobil 1 made a 100 Oct synthetic oil but no more.
Same here! No way!
5,000 miles max on any oil change. I don’t care if it’s amsoil or whatever
I've been using K&N for years and this video confirmed I made a good decision to go with them. Thanks for this. 🤘😎
Just putted a K&N oil filter on my car today, which probably will add 10hp lol
Facto bhahahahahahahaha 😩😩😩🤷🏾♂️🤣
I'll put it this way I changed over to k&n oil and air filters and it made and world of difference in the way my truck and car and lawnmower ran and operated
Only if you also installed the sticker
Can't beat the good Ol' Butt Dyno!!!
Thanks to your video I’m going to pick up a couple of the K&N filters for my Jeep and Honda Ridgeline. I change my oil and filter when I can’t see my oil level lines through the color of the oil. Cheap insurance for my engines. I’ve used this method for over fifty years and never had an engine failure.
Nice to see one cut open. Ive heard they have metal internal parts instead of cardboard like fram. Ive always used them with Royal Purple. Little expensive oil change but its well worth it.
I just did that today the K&N Gold with 6qt of Royal Purple, was like $60 but hope it’s worth it!
The orange Fram and I believe their Toughgard oil filter have cardboard endcaps. Their Ultragard gold filters have metal end caps. I found those to be excellent. But I mainly use the white K&N oil filters.
You're paying more for a name than anything w royal purple. Pennz and mobil1 are better, test better and are true full synthetics with a natural gas base instead of petroleum
Go with the rp oil filter too!
I got the same filter on my car right now just got a royal purple filter for next oil change and oil
Thanks for going to the expense and effort man. Good info and I appreciate it.
I use K&N products for air and such and MSD Ignition on my 96 silverado and I also add a quart of Lucas oil treatment to my engine to help with lubrication and smooth things out and it works beautifully with never a problem. Nice tip that I thought I would share. 😀
Thank you for sharing! Could you tell me if this filter does a good job when it comes to starting a car after some time eliminating the ticking in the engine for few seconds? I just bought Motorcraft one with a drain back valve and it doesn't help at all!Thank you!
I have to admit I was impressed you really know how to explain very good way keep up the great work I learned a lot just in this video 💯
Thanks a lot. I had no idea amazon sold K&N. I’ve Paid about 17.99 the last few times.
Glad to help.
Daniel Rojas Walmart has k&n oil filters for about 9 bucks. I just wish they'd carry the air filter cleaning kit as well.
@@chicanopowers4938 They usually do, I've bought a couple
Yo what I bought it at walmart and it was 12
I use K&N oil filters with Mobil 1 High Mileage in my 2004 Honda CRV. I drive about 36,000 a year with 95% of that being highway miles. I gotta say, this combo's worked out great for me as I've changed out my oil/filter 4 times in 2 years and even then, the oil isn't grody. On top of that, I got my CRV with 196,000 miles and she's got about 270,000 miles after 2 years. She still running sweet.
I got the same vehicle 2004 crv with 144000 miles, 232 000 kilometers, using the exact same combo.
@@everettrowe8122 I'm at 296,000 miles and she's still riding smooth. In fact, I had the valve cover gaskets replaced and when they removed the cover, the inside of my engine was still shiny. Beautiful condition.
Can you please do a detailed oil analysis on an 18000 mile oil vs 3000 vs 5000 vs 10000, I know its way after the fact but if you can that will be great.
Proper inspection should include cutting the media loose, unfolding it & washing it out with mineral spirits to determine how much & what kind of metal flakes the engine is producing. This should be compared with known engine metals to analize if wear is normal for age/mileage or is something wearing prematurely. Oil analysis would also be a really good idea for higher mileage oil changes. Doing mine as soon as weather allows per described above.
Thank you! I've thought about the oil analysis as well. I believe Eric the Car Guy did that with Mobile1 Extended Performance.
...that really would be awesome to see.
K&N Oil Filter, Amsoil Signature Series, and Motorkote is a great combination
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I’ve been curious about these for a long time.
Glad to help!
The best test would be to put the filter media in a vise and squeeze the oil out and then run a magnet over it and scrape off the metal shavings to see how much there was
I think the longest ive run k&n was a little over 12k miles or a little over year, i always use Castrol Edge Full Synthetic High Milage (black bottles) got a 95 Honda Civic and a 2002 Toyota Corolla S both use K&N and Full Synthetic High Milage there both over 150k miles K&N has never let me down. I try to change both between 8-10k miles some times i don’t have time to do a tune up on my cars because of work, but i never let it bother me because i know i can count on the K&N Filter to keep going strong even if i go over 10k miles. This video now enhanced my accountability of K&N Oil Filters. Thank You @CarsNToys
Quite impressive. Nice video my dude. Well done explaining how things work.
K and N looks like high quality!
K&N, she's got nice cans
Project farm is going to be the greatest example of nonbiased excellent review
I wish someone would make a video comparing the filtering capabilities, as to the particular micron sizing of the element, of oil filters.
This may help: ua-cam.com/video/kx-NT1DEtlU/v-deo.html
Smallest is Royal purple and Amsoil at 25 microns.
Cool, but wouldn't it be a smarter move to get the oil analysed, rather than just looking at it, to see what has got past the filter medium to circulate in the engine?
It's a higher flow filter for racing it doesn't filter down to small microns like amsoil, Royal purple something like that. If you want your engine to last longer K&N oil filters is the wrong way to go
Find someone who’s into you like this guy with his oil filter
Lol
😄
Would like to see Bosch's higher-end oil filter - called "DistancePlus" - and it's comparison to their "Premium" oil filter. If you also manage to get their "workshop" oil filter, it'd be even more awesome to see a comparison of all three!
Also, there is a filter brand called "Premium Guard." I used to buy their air filters since they were really cheap! Would be nice to also see a comparison of their two oil filters as well.
Love the presentation! Can't think of anything else you can add...
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
So I know you did the review over this k&n oil filter and a separate video on the purilator boss oil filter. Could you please make a review or tell your different thoughts and/or recommendations over these two filters. I switched from k&n gold to purilator boss filters while in both using pennzoil platinum full synthetic high mileage 5w-30. Thanks for all the videos! They are great 👍🏼
I don't think you can go wrong with either filter. I tend to run K&N and Purolator Boss and have had zero issues.
okay, i appreciate it.
try Wix XP filters for that excellent Pennzoil oil
Great review , love to see a Subaru filter review , and maybe explain about the bypass valve higher psi rating use , cheers from Sydney
Based on your video I think I'll stick with this brand. I feel pretty good about changing the oil every 3k miles, but I'll leave the same filter on for about a year. Thanks for the video post👍🏼
I'm just the opposite. I would run the oil for a year and change the filter every six months because I understand that Toyota puts the emphasis on flow rate. BUT I DON'T. I change both every 5,000 miles.
@@stevensevek6151 If you are going to change oil every 3 to 5k miles, just buy the cheap filer.
@@dangda-ww7de
I have been using K&N (less than $5) usually and sometimes Toyota OEM. I may try Supertech next time.
6 months or 6k whichever comes first is usually the happy place. 10 plus years ago I’d say the modern synthetic oils can handle 10k but since direct injection and turbo charging of these small engines the hotter engine temps for emission standards etc I would stick with 6month or 6k.
I use to be a fan of kn filters but they have been causing leaks in my vehicle. I go with purolator boss.
One thing I’ll say about the K&N is my oil pressure was much higher compared to other filters.
It uses a cellulose media instead of synthetic for higher flow rates. Same thing for me, better oil pressure which is a plus
Just tried one out yesterday with my oil change. Glade to hear the higher flower rate wasn't just marketing fluff
@@TheTyisawesome You can completly remove oil filter. You will get best possible flow 😂 Oil filter should filtrating engine oil. If you want better flow you must sacrefice filtering properties. Best way is to find the Golden mean. K&N gives you better flow but quality of filtration is poor. Thats good for motorsport but not for everyday driving if you want to keep your engine in good condition. The same situation with K&N air filters. Just find Project Farm's comparison.
@@toodanderson351 that makes zero sense, synthetic filter media flows infinitely better than cellulose not to mention it is far more efficient at capturing particulate matter.
@@gtzgreatride if efficiency is what you are interested in look no further than the Fram Ultra or Fram Titanium. 99% @ 20 microns, 98.7% @ 16 microns, 80% @ 5 microns. No doubt that Royal Purple/Amsoil oil filters are great but they are overpriced and still do not perform as well as the top of the line Fram.
Why does KN now use a plastic center tube to hold the media? How well can it hold up with constant hot oil passing through?
I'm running k&n air and oil filters with penzoil full syn and BT oil cc on my Charger r/t. No complaints!
i drive rideshare 200 miles a day. 2019 new toyota corolla since feb1 2019. ive changed oil every 10000 miles with 0-20w royal purple and a kn oil filter every 10000 miles as well. 45000 miles in one year coming up. 87 octane shell oil gas and the little car gets 33-41 mpg each fillup. im thinking about extending oil and filter to 15000 miles as the oil looks great each time i change it. the tolerances on these 1.8 motors are outstanding. Never have to add oil between oil changes. Im a child of the 60s where a quart every 1500 miles was good!
You should bring the car to the dealer for oil change until the warranty is up
Great video i run the HP 2006 Oil filter. It does give higher oil psi
I love use in the other K&N filter the one with out the nut and I'm using royal purple oil it works well together
Held up nicely for a non extended interval drain filter. Never used the welded nut kn only the black can Walmart used to carry. I don’t find the welded nut of much use but I guess it’s useful for those that choose this filter. Overall nice filter but there’s equal for less money.
Here I am worried about going 8k on my Raider. Good to know the k&n holds up
I used them all the time, really like k&n gold oil filters.
Saw the purolator filters in a magazine just before I bought my first truck as a teenager 22 yrs ago and have used them ever since til this yr. Not because one failed me but because the store I went into to didn't have them but they did carry k&n which I believe to be of equal quality and to be honest the nut cap helped sell me. For me these are the ONLY 2 brands I'm willing to use on my vehicles other than maybe Mobil and that's only a maybe.
In all honesty just change ur oil when it gets dark plain and simple doesn’t matter which brand just fucken change it same goes for the filter.
Thank you very informative video
About time ! Please keep up the great work. Love to see the after videos. Anyways to test the flow rate on a brand new vs used filter?
Thank you! We will continue to post. I've had many requests concerning flow rates. Unfortunately I don't have such machinery that can accurately measure flow rates. I'll try reaching out to manufacturer's for the info.
@@CarsNToys Maybe something that might work would involve comparing a new filter element with a used element that has had most of the oil pressed out of it (with a vice or similar method) and then simply pour the same amount of a suitable liquid through both elements without any pressure and time how long it takes for the fluid to pass through each element. (Maybe some sort of cheap vegetable oil would work.)
High flow rate and filtration very very good.. No actual testing?
awesome review man thanks a lot we appreciate you
I agree with others on a Bosch premium filter, not the Bosch distance plus. A used Bosch premium since you already cut open a new Bosch before. Something new you can probably do is to measure the diameter of the inlet holes. Just a suggestion for the future. Great video
Thanks, Richard. Appreciate the feedback!
One thing I just noticed in this k&n is bypass valve setup it has is little different then you see in other filters. Given fact that dirt oil goes from outside in then is clean. If you had failure of bypass valve on this design you have high possibility of engine failure due to those pieces going right into oil gallery. Definitely some food for thought. I look at filter designs all the time and just noticed this on k&n design where as fram and all others mainly use stamped steel design.
Can you explain why this one is different for me. Thanks
Wix is a great filter, but I did notice that the Chevy Spark (particularly the 13-15’ gen) have a completely different wix appearance than the tradition black casing ones. Would love to see the Wix 10001 cut open.
Thank you so much, your knowledge has helped me so much!
Glad to help!
Could do a view on STP 10,000 oil filters.
Thanks for your consideration.
This was a very good video for a novice / want-to-be DIY person like me who did not know how the oil filters work.
Thanks
Like to see a Purolator Boss oil filter cut apart and looked at!
Going with k n in future,there air filter has work good provided I maintain it regularly.
Glad my choice was a good one. I’ll stay with them forever
I prefer k&n silver for extended drain I use the gold for drag car it can withstand higher psi
How about Amsoil and RP? Great video thanks for sharing
Lot of damn haters. That filter media looks to be in EXCELLENT shape for 18k miles in terms of holding together and pleats still spaced perfectly. A "high mileage" filter will be in no better shape . As far as what to see in the future: Off brand stuff. Everybody who wants to know knows the offerings from Purolator, STP, Fram, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, Wix/NAPA, Supertech and their make up. Lets see some not so common brands cut open etc.
Got it. I'll see what I can dig up. Appreciate the feedback!
paid $14.47 at Gual-Mar in Chiefland,FL
Every K&N ive had to deal w was a huge pain in the ass. The nut to remove is a stripped out joke, and ive had threads be marred upon inspection after removal. This was on a truck, sports car and V Twin ATV. Just my 2cents
Bummer. I've found using a 1" wrench vs 1" socket and ratchet provides better gripping for the 1" nut. Appreciate the feedback!
@@CarsNToys yup that's how I do it. I like that feature, works well for me.
I’d like to see testing on volume that can pass through the filter
I've been using the same k&n filter shown in this vid combined with royal purple 5/30 synthetic oil in my G37 for yrs now and never had an issue due bad quality or craftsmenship.
So to you commenters talking trash about em cause their so called made in mexico you really dont know what your talking about .
Comming from a customer that uses em religously I stand by them 100%.
Thanks for your feedback. I've had zero issues as well.
you better get your oil changed if it's been years..
You totally misunderstood what I meant.
What I meant was that I use this same style filter in my car and havent changed to any other company name since .
I change my oil regularly one supposed to.
If I would leave the same oil in my car for a few years I shouldn't have a car at all
cool vid. thanks for the info
You can change a premium oil filter every other synthetic oil change, which would be every 10-12k miles for me. The oil filtration actually gets better vs. new as is loads up over time.
Hi, great videos! Is it possible to review Ford Racing Oil Filter ?
Can you make a video on amsoil oil filter?
First of all great job on your videos. I would love to see a Polaris brand oil filter for a 570 sportsman. There's a lot of debate on using less expensive brands that are supposed to be just as good or better. Thanks
This one made in Mexico. However, latest dissections indicate K&N now back to being made by Champ Labs in the US. Weakest point on these has been the attached nut. Some have failed causing leaks. With the exception of one wide pleat area, this one looks ok. As long as it didn't tear, got the job done.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. And yes, I'm seeing more made in the Good Ol USA, too.
Maybe the leak one was made in mexico, so they brought it back here.
Amsoil Signature Series 10w40, Motorkote, and K&N Oil Filter equals a Premium Combination for any car.
So what the best oil filter you could buy ?
Love these filters. I've got a wrench just dedicated to remove them...lol
Thanks for video very informative
Review on Fram Ultra Guard after 15,000 please !
those long oil change intervals lead to premature oil leaks. I change mine at 5,000 miles regardless of what the oil bottle says.
Oil becomes abrasive as the normal wear and tear of the engine leaves more metal particles in the oil as the miles add up.
In the other k&n video you made you said cellulose now you say synthetic blend which is it? Lol love your videos btw
knn change the inside from cellulose to blend, we dont know what in it now, unless someone cut out again.
lol thank you. I appreciate the feedback. I'll have to check the dates when I uploaded the videos. Sometimes the manufacturer may update the filter; such as where it's made, changing the anti drain back valve material (such as Fram ExtraGuard), etc. The last I looked K&N used impregnated resin; or cellulose. Nonetheless, a great filter. I've had no issues using K&N. Cheers.
Yea K&n is confusing on the box either says made in USA,Mexico or Korea and people keep saying they keep changing things in the filter
Yes. The last time I used their filter it was made in Mexico.
They are made by Champ labs, same outfit that builds Supertech filters for walmart.
K&N vs mobil 1 vs wix/wixXp ? Whats your choice for best quality?
Just had my mechanic change my oil. He was shocked when he opened the box and saw K&N. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it!
Interesting to see one opened after use. I just installed a K&N in my 2020 Mustang four-banger, hopefully it will be an improvement over the Motorcraft, though, don't really know. Stupid question, but the filter in my car is mounted vertically with the opening at the top, so does that mean the drain back will never be needed? I guess the drain back is for filters that are mounted with the opening downward?
man i love this guy
Could you do a video on a used Cusco filter as it has a magnet inside it and I’m wondering how good a job these Cusco Japanese filters do please?
Can you do a oil filter test show how the different filters perform during the test and which hold up
I almost switched to K&N filters but the way they attach the end nut concerns me. I've seen quite a few complaints about leaks. Not sure how common this is, but seems like a catastrophic failure when it happens.
I've read those concerns as well. I've had no issues over the years; nonetheless there are many good alternatives.
CarsNToys
Your "removal only" suggestion was a good one.
They sell em without the nuts too... if that bothers you...
do you even have to use the nut or can’t you just remove it like a regular oil filter?
@@brock1120
No one will make you use the nut.
What I haven't found is any objective testing of the claims about filter media. K&N's intake air filters have lower resistance to flow than typical air filters, but this comes with allowing larger particulate through. There are ways to construct filter media that are equally effective without introducing as much resistance, but that is an unproven claim.
So I should start using this kind of filter on my 2012 Honda Civic right!
I would like to see a Donaldson Blue DBL7349 they are used on the 5.9 Cummins but I can't really find any internal images. They are supposedly rate at 99% efficiency at 15 microns with their Synteq media I believe it's called. There's hardly anything on Donaldson filters.
Another great video!
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks good video
So basically, if you're a bit of an oil changing freak like I am, on my 2002 Sienna I could put in the K&N Filter and just change the oil every 4,000 miles and that filter should do just fine without a change for 12,000 miles?
Because as it stands now I change my oil about every 5000 miles and I always put in a premium oil filter each time ( lately been using Mobil 1 extended performance or Royal purple). My car is 196k on it.
What oil was used here? Pennzoil fully synthetic. Is that Pennzoil Platinum or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum? As dirty as that filter looks I would think that the flow rate had dropped considerably with that extended change interval!
I usually use a K&N filter element but I change my oil and filter every 5,000 miles.
try a baldwin or hastings.. wix xp too. those are top notch! mahle.. too
Have you ever tested an Amsoil filter? It's all I ever use but they're now back ordered and impossible to find so I need to switch. Bought a Mobile 1 and a Royal Purple but the higher flow claims from K&N makes it appealing
I have a 1 humble request that how to clean this kind K&N Oil Filter.Can u make a video on that plz? and also i am your new subs from today :)
Do the new Mobil1
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback!
Can you open a new Pennzoil platinum HE filter
Since we are talking about oil filters how about srt filters with penzoil?
How about some diesel oil filters like Cat,Cummins,etc or AC Delco,Motorcraft,Mopar,etc.
You've taken us on a tour of the oil filter, but even so, you haven't shown how well the filter performed and more importantly whether the filter performed any better than less expensive brands.
Wait what? 1 year 12,000 miles ? Did I hear that right?
Do some Diesel filters.
after all this research what filter do you use in your vehicles?
