Use a regular filter. They get changed out every 3,000 mies anyways. You will not see the difference. The air filters are a different story, but they too are not as good as they say they are.K%26amp;n oil filter how often to change them and are they as good as they claim or a regular filter will do the sam?
The best thing about any filter that,s oil charged is you don't have to clean them very often at all. Depending on your driving you could go a whole year or more without even considering to clean it. Now I drive down about 10 miles of dirt roads twice a day and wouldn't even consider owning one. Mainly because the expense and time to clean it every 3k to 4k I just change the cheap little paper one every oil change. But they are good filters and yes, they are worth the price.





more info: Opps, I thought of the air filter. NO, I would not have the added expense of buying a K%26amp;N OIL Filter. But DO NOT buy an oil filter from WalMart. They get factory seconds. Buy a GOOD Wix filter and change it every 3k to 4k.
Regular filter will filter out the dirt better, K%26amp;N may flow slightly more air, useful only if you operate your engine at maximum RPM a lot.
All K %26amp; N filters are overpriced junk. Do not be taken in by the outrageous claims of their marketing department. Buy a quality oil filter from Wix, or Purolator ( at half the price of the K %26amp; N crap ) and replace at the recommended oil change interval and you'll be good to go. Avoid K %26amp; N air filters ( @ $50.00 ) as well, Wix air filters ( @ $9.50 ) do a better job and after a year you can throw them away, instead of spending $10.00 on the K %26amp; N ';recharge'; kit and then getting to wash your filter.
The engine oil becomes contaminated with acid from the combustion process. No filter can remove that. Any filter will remove dirt and should be changed along with the oil. Not changing it leaves the contamination in place. It would be about as smart as trying to save and reuse toilet paper rather than flushing it. K%26amp;N oil filters are no better than any others and should never be considered as a long life alternative. Their air filters will give you a bit more air flow but the down side is they also allow the passage of more fine dirt particles.
