**HitManLs1** · 05-23-2009, 11:39 AM

Has any of you guys tried the K&N and oil filter and the Mobil 1 10w 30 synthetic oil

**Sarge** · 05-23-2009, 11:49 AM

Yes.

Do u have anything bad to say about the oil filter?

**Sarge** · 05-23-2009, 02:03 PM

Yes. Middle of the road filtration and flow. On par with NAPA/WIX which sell for half the price. Mobil1 returns worse UOA's than Pennzoil Platinum...once again PP is half the price and returns better UOA's than Mobil1.

I paid $11.95. And, I like the little nut on the end

Thanks, Sarge. I planned on Amsoil for my next oil change. I'll order a filter too.

Sounds convenient, but aren't you supposed to hand tighten an oil filter

I always hand tighten....then add a half turn with the filter cap wrench tool.

Delco filters on my cars. $4-5 at Wally World each.

I hand tighten to then a little turn. They say that the filter is suppose to tighten itself from vibration but I have never had a problem and even better.....Never had a leak

I use K&N oil filter for the last 2 years but am going to ALL Amsoil. Thats what my snowmobile likes anyways
