Review on 🔍 High-Quality K&N Premium Oil Filter: Engine Protective Filter for MAZDA, FORD, DODGE, NISSAN Models (Full List of Compatibilities in Description), PS-2009 by Wilbert Luoma

K&N Superior protection. Oil. By using a fully synthetic oil you can at least double the service life! And it's typical: most mechanics say you can go 6-10,000 miles on this quality oil because it has less thermal breakdown. Some people and tests show that even 12k is safe (as long as the time is less than a year). However, if you're trying to drive 4,000+ miles on your oil, here's what I recommend: you can buy synthetic "blended" oil by the way, but for more mileage it's better to use Full Synth. * Check the oil level after 3 or 4000 miles, it is not uncommon for a liter to be lost even on a new engine! and check ten every 2 or 3000 miles thereafter. Also due to the fact (as mentioned above) the reduced size of modern oil filters I recommend buying a good quality filter which in most cases will only cost you a few bucks more and is worth the money as you save on more frequent oil changes... I personally use fully synthetic oil (NON BLENDED SYNTHETIC) and change the oil at about 10,000 miles but let me tell you it has been for me. 2 times a year. I do not recommend anyone to drive longer than 1 year without an oil change period. (with any type of oil.) Tips: I also do my own oil changes after speaking to some top mechanics who say you have to remove the oil filler cap (of course) and pull out the dipstick to drain the old oil. Also fill the new oil filter up to the top and lubricate the seal with a little oil before installing. The latter helps with sealing and the former helps the engine. Race mechanics tell me that engine starting occurs when most potential damage and metal fragments occur. By doing this you reduce the time it takes for the oil to pass through the filter (and leave the engine "somewhat dry"). With many engines you can really hear the difference. This is a simple but extra step that really helps. Btw I use K&N oil filters, I think they are the best. They are most commonly used in racing. There are two types of them: The first, cheapest type costs about $14. It comes with a 1" welded nut that allows the filter to be unscrewed with a 1" socket. The K&N Type 2 oil filter is a conventional design and about half the price, but I believe it has the same quality oil filtration as the "nut". For this type, you can purchase a "Cap Wrench" oil filter at most auto parts stores (or Revain if you're sure of size). I recommend taking your oil filter type/size to the shop to check (see) if the oil cap is the right size and grip for the job. Get a metal strap, it's really easy on your joints (most people need a ratchet with an extension), unlike the old metal strap which is just as hard to find and pretty tricky to maneuver on most new engines. .FYI MAZDA 6 INFO.
