K&N Oil Filter Review - Is It Worth the Hype?

For my Nissan, it was installed in under 30 minutes! Definitely liking the convenience. Just remember to apply some oil to the rubber gasket to ensure a tight seal.

That’s a tip I hadn’t considered! Does that really help prevent leaks?

Absolutely! It creates a better seal and makes it easier to remove next time too. I’ve been using K&N for years now, and no leaks in sight.

My experience has been a mixed bag. I had low oil pressure after setting one up on my Jeep. Anyone else face such issues?

That’s concerning! Did you check if the filter was the right model for your engine? Compatibility is crucial.

I mean, it could be something else. My buddy had a similar issue with a different brand. Filters aren’t always the root cause.

Installation was straightforward for my VW, but I did have to use an adapter. Just check your vehicle manual. K&N filters are reliable!

Thanks for that tip! I didn’t realize I would need one for my BMW. Is it hard to find?

Not at all! Most auto parts stores carry them. Just make sure you get the right fitment for your model.

I’ve been using K&N on various cars for years—no issues, just don’t forget to tighten it properly. It’s not worth risking an oil leak!
