K & N Oil Filter

There was a report a while back that said that K&N was the only filter that had an anti-drain back device that actually worked. I'm not sure this is still the case, but at one point in time it was..
Besides that, the filtering element is far superior than your standard Fram or Motocraft.
But like was said before, necisary.. eh.. probably not.. but that adapter for a socket is VERY VERY helpfull! And I'll keep buying them simply for that feature.
That said, my truck has only had Mobil 1 from change 1 with Mobil 1 filters till a couple years ago when I switched to K&N.

doesnt matter if its "clean", the reason u change oil is because the detergents and additives wear out. hell oil is slippery clean or dirty...
im with zach, i dont like to leave engine oil in longer than 5,000 miles. if u want info on filters, oil, or anyhting for that matter related to lubrication/filtration head over to bobistheoilguy.com .
