Hello
The first time I changed my oil I used the K&N oil filter. But I didn't like it cause it leaked at the seal at their directed "torque" and required me to tighten it too much for my tastes. With this in mind, plus that fact it was almost $10, I opted for a cheaper Fram (with "sure grip"). It was cheaper and required "normal tightening" (1/3 to 3/4 turn once the seal makes contact) and hasn't leaked a bit. I used this type of filter on many a car and it seems fine. I know it classified as "cheap" but IMHO it seems to do the job just fine...
Any thoughts?
Alexandros
