another question
Hi everybody, I went to advance auto parts today to get oil filter and oil. They had a deal ON K&N OIL FILTER AND VALVOLINE OIL. it is 5-w30 full synthetic but I have not heard anyone commenting on that particular one.
I'm curious how I would it compare to mobil1 or Pennzoil for example?
Should I use it or exchange for a different one?

They usually run a special on 5 qts Mobil 1 Oil and Mobil 1 Filter for $26.99.
Gosh there have been so many debates on this recently, try a search. Of course you may be more confused afterwards.

You don't want to use a K&N filter on a Corvette C5, On the K&N oil filter then have a bolt head on the filter that sticks down farther than anything on the bottom of the car and it is waiting to get hit by something on the road and you can lose all your oil if that happens.

I am glad you are having someone on your side with that filter, All I am saying is if you look under your car you can see the filter hanging down below the car with no protection, It is your choice. But me no way, Just my opinion.

I've used the K&N filter for my last three oil changes. Sure, it could get hit by something but there are a million "what-ifs" that COULD happen.
I think the odds are in my favor that I won't have a problem with it.
But you are correct, it does hang slightly lower.

A tall speed bump or road kill could whack it loose or off.
As always,IMO.
