Are the K&N oil filters anything special? are they worth the extra 2 bucks? I have just been running a federated, which is made by purolator i believe. i think purolator manufactures the motorcraft filters. i did a search, but couldnt find anything on this one. thanx

I tried one on my gas truck and didnt notice anything special, I dunno, Im happy with my reg old wix/hastings filters. But if K and N made a fuel filter Id most likely give it a shot.

I spend extra money on the Mobil 1 filters as they have better specs than the motorcraft ones. I can't find my data on the specifics anymore so sorry I don't have them to share.

I noticed a big difference when using the K@N oil filter in my dodge. I think i may give it a try with my PSD.

What did you see that was different? I stopped at Kragen Auto today on my way to wally world (for oil and filter) and I saw the K&N filter on the shelf...they had one in stock for me but I figured it was just an over priced waste..tell me why its better and maybe ill give it a shot.

I noticed the oil stayed a lot cleaner for a lot longer. And with my dodge i noticed when my oil started to get old on a regular filter, my oil pressure started to fluctuate. With the K&N the oil pressure stayed the same, where the needle was pointing straight up.

Does ExxonMobil make oil filters for use with Mobil 1?
ExxonMobil does offer a very high-quality oil filter that can be used with any motor oil, but it is an especially appropriate companion to Mobil 1. Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filters contain synthetic fibers instead of the typical cellulose filter media. With a 99.2 percent efficiency rating (under SAE J1858 Multi-Pass Efficiency Test), the Mobil 1 filter is much more efficient than a typical oil filter, removing more particles per pass through the filter. In addition, the synthetic fibers in the Mobil 1 filter have less resistance to oil flow, reducing the potential for the filter to restrict the flow of oil to your engine.
