Review on K&N Premium Oil Filter: Ultimate Engine Protection, Compatible with Select CHEVROLET/GMC/BUICK/CADILLAC Models - HP-2006 by Reginald Sealy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

K&N oil filters are among the best. I have been using Fram filters for a long time

From what I have read and researched K&N oil filters are among the best. I've been a long time Fram user but after seeing some comparisons I decided to switch to K&N for 5 out of 6 of my cars (I use Mann for my Porsche). Since I change my oil every 2,000 miles, the quality of the filter is probably not that critical, but the difference in price isn't enough to make you not choose the best. I like the wrench on the bottom of the K&N, but wish it was 1/16" or 1/8" longer. The heads work well but on both of my cars the combination wrench is the right tool and sometimes hard to keep from slipping off. I also miss the structured, non-slip surface of the Fram. Sometimes when I spin the K&N it slips out of my fingers and falls into the drain pan with an annoying squirt. Cleaning up this mess almost doubles the oil change time. But aside from these minor complaints, I am very happy with the K&N oil filters and will continue to use them.
