Never seen a K&N oil filter endorsement

I don't think I have ever seen a K&N racing oil filter endorsement on this website at any time.......are they good or bad or what is the opinion ????

I tried them because of the hex on the end to ease removal for inspection of the Moroso pre screen . Not impressed...Trevor

I have used many of them, cut them open to inspect after use and have been happy with the K&N filter. Seem to be well built.

They used to be made in Albion Illinois by champion mfg now made in China and Mexico by other companies to k&in specs Mott as good as the previous filters lest costly more profit for K&N. less filtering unable to prefill the filter nuts may leak and on and on. Fed 387

I quit using them when i could not prefill. Called them and said they resigned them. I like my oil instantly after an oil change. Before that I never had a problem with them.

Really hard to beat Wix & NAPA oil filters (made by Wix, last I heard)
.

Cost me an engine (and almost a second one) last year. Switched back to Wix and the oil pressure came right back. Also, I found the "hex" to be one step up from useless.

We use and recommend K&N filters to all our customers. Great filters in my opinion

I have been using the K&N oil filters for the last 5 years and have been pleased.

Have used K&N oil and air filters for years. No blowouts, seal problems and easy to remove. Also inexpensive for a quality filter and I usually cut the filter open after a couple weekends to be safe. Run them in both cars
