K&N, becasue of the 1" nut, I cant get a filter wrench in there very well, and my pussy ass hands cant seem to tighten it up enough to seal it good on the adapter plate on my 1.8t. and it is 2X as hard to get off after 3Kmi. The little molded in nut is the tits.
PS didnt some other filter have this feature too?
The subaru gets a welfare filter, cheapest on the shelf, also gets Advance or supertech WalMart 10-30 every 5-10Kmi lol
Saab gets a drop in joint from Pureoilator
Other cars get pur ones just because.
Ktm’s get KTM 12$ EA filters. the 625SMC has 2 filters and uses 14$ oil too. I hate that oil change
PS Frams dont suck. I ran those grippy joints in my F250, for the life time the truck ran, sold it at 120Kmi ran perfect compression was perfect. My father bought it new and it allways used a fram. I also used the grippy jobbers in the 1.8t too, prior to the rebuild, when it came apart it was perfect inside. Now like i said K&N just becasue I like the nut and the $5 doesnt mean shit to me casue I am baller.
someone buy two cars run them on a dyno for 100kmi with one filter and the other… i want to see the differences.
In comparison to everything else they (Frams) are inferior.
It’s no different than talking about oil, as long as its there and changed at proper intervals it won’t directly cause the engine to fail, but if there are better options out there for a minute difference in price when looking at the big scale, why not use the better options?
