Default K/N Oil Filters????

Does anyone have any thoughts on K /N oil filters?
I use them on vehicles and boats, but i am hearing there air filters are questionable for the price you pay?



Thanks

they are supposed to be synthetic media instead of paper.

theory being is any water in the oil from moisture/condensation damagaes the paper media causing it to swell and go into filter bypass where as the synthetic media isnt affected by mositure

I have run there air filters forever, but now I am hearing of people damaging map sensors from the oil,,,,, my guess is when they service that they have overoiled them as I have not had a problem in 10 years

Default k/n oil filters

Thanks for the information.
I don't run there air filters in my powerstroke trucks, they possibly damage turbos!
Oil filters seem good and well built!
