Are K&N filters really worth it??

[bumblebee]

It's not too bad

I assume you ran the motor a bit and got the oil warm before dropping it out

[CJVR08]

Yes and opened top cap first

[bumblebee]

Nice

[CJVR08]

Yeah just went for a drive now to check oil level

[CJVR08]

Not easy to read as the new oil is very light coloured but I think it's all good new filter & new fully synthetic oil... Should keep me going for a while, will take it to my personal mechanic after new year to give it a full inspection

[lancerdarryl]

Oil filters are hard to get off when they've been overtightened or have been fitted without putting a a smear of oil on the sealing ring.When they are fitted dry it's a pain to undo as they feel so tight it's actually the rubber seal sticking to sealing area that the problem.Its handy that the filter points straight down - makes it easy to fit when filled with with oil.

[CJVR08]

Yeah they are only meant to be on hand tighten not Rock solid, had to buy a wrench to loosen it but even that took time... Yes I put oil on the top and inside the filter just to be safe

[bumblebee]

Sounds like you're all over it

[CJVR08]

Yea I have done this before, it's just messy and annoying getting under a car

[bumblebee]

Got a shed ?
Dig out a pit in it wide enough to squeeze under it
Or
Win the Lottery
Shove a hoist in it pick the car up

[CJVR08]

Yea nothing like that live in a unit block no money
