Mobil 1 5w-20 with Motorcraft 820S filter all the way.

My car doesn't burn oil with the 20w so I'll stick with it.

K&N Oil Filters suck. Their air filters are the ****, but their oil filters aren't worth a damn.

This was the first K@N I had bought. What's the deal with them? Any test results on efficiency? Or your own findings?

Cut them apart and you'll notice a difference. You may be changing your mind.

WRONG!!!!

fram is one of the worst performing oil filters while motorcraft is one of the best.
