This is a well made top quality filter. It also fits my Chrysler mini-van engine. I've been using it for many years for my oil changes. 120K miles and still going strong. Out of all the filters on the shelf, it's the least expensive. The secret is now out!!

I try and always use the Motorcraft filters for my 65 Mustang and am very satisfied! Will continue using as long as I own the car!

I have reviewed 108 books on the Amazon website, per Amazon count. So now they are bugging me to review an oil filter! I ordered it from Amazon because we are living in Haiti and that is the best way to get it delivered.. It works great, just as you might expect a Motocraft filter to work on a Ford. Now maybe the filter will disappear from my Amazon to do list.

This item is actually a duplicate item on Amazon. Here is the other one Lucas Oil 10576 Safeguard Ethanol Fuel Conditioner 16 oz.

This product does seem to work well though. I haven't used it through a winter to see how my motorcycle tank is, but so far I'm happy with it.

This is the kind of product you would expect from K&N. Thick plastic end caps force oil to flow through the dense filter media. There seem to be many more folds per inch than other brands I have used. I didn't measure the exact count but you can tell from the picture that they are closer together. They even include a screw in drain plug for the filter housing, for those folks who don't let the oil run all over their hand and down their arm.

I ordered this for a replacement filter for the first oil change on my new Lexus. The quality of the K&N filter was leaps and bounds over the factory filter. The instructions were very clear and easy to understand. FYI, your vehicles manual and the instructions both say to use the Toyota oil filter wrench, but you don't need it. If you have a three prong self adjusting oil filter wrench it will do the job. just be careful, you need to reuse it.

The filter seemed fine and was sturdy in construction with plenty of pleats . The little plastic drain that is supposed to screw into the bottom of the filter was another story . The threads on the drain plug were totally defective and unable to screw into the bottom of the filter to drain the small amount of oil that resides in the filter housing. A little bit of a mess even with a pan under the Camry , but all in all a very good filter and I would buy again.

Filter fits, works, and does not at all seem cheap or second-rate. I plan to buy it again for my next oil change.

The filter at first try did not seat right, as it looked a little to high. Pulled out and check against the used filter. It was the right size, so I put the K&N filter back and tried again. This time I used a little force to seat it all the way down. It finally seated. I would buy the same one again, now that I know what to expect.

Great oil for my car and the really hot climate. Used to be able to get this in the gallon containers but that went away over a year ago and hasn't returned. Oil well, maybe next year.

You can pay more, but you can't buy better. As good as the $20 a quart stuff. Have been using for years, the last 12 yrs I have ran this in Harley Davidson Twin Cam motors where oil temps routinely reach 250 degs. Zero failures

I use this in a hot rod with 550hp and works great. The viscosity stays the same whether hot or cold and that is the big advantage with synthetic motor oil. It also contains more of the additives needed by high performance engines for long camshaft life. Also with the slipperyness of synthetic motor oil, there is a performance gain. I have been using Mobil 1 for years in all my cars and trucks.

Full synthetic motor oil is the best thing since sliced bread for small air cooled engines, such as lawnmowers and snowblowers. My five star rating is based on that application. In my opinion, full synthetic motor oil is very expensive overkill in the family car, with the exception of engines that were designed from the ground up to require it. I would give Mobil One only two stars for automotive use due to the excessive cost.

Air cooled engines have very poor temperature control. The hot spots get so hot that conventional oil burns to fine particles of carbon. You can see conventional oil turn to a dark brown color after only a few runs of the engine after an oil change. That's not dirt getting into the engine; it's immediate thermal breakdown of the oil.

The typical air cooled engine only takes 0.75 quart for an oil change, so the price premium over conventional oil is trivial. You should change the oil every year, but if you don't, you will notice that the oil stays clean looking for several seasons.

The viscosity grade of Mobil One 15W-50 is perfect for lawnmowers. For a snowblower, consider 0W-40 instead.

It's a different story for the water cooled engines in cars. Tight thermal control has been the name of the game ever since emission regulations were enacted in 1968, with every new generation of engines being better than the last. Cold spots produce CO and unburned hydrocarbons, and hot spots produce nitrogen oxides. Both have been eliminated. Remember that full synthetics were invented for use on the Alaska pipe line project. Not many of us in the lower 48 will ever have to start our cars at -50 degrees Fahrenheit.

I bought this oil filter housing cup wrench to replace the thin metal one that I got from Amazon not too long ago. This AST M0219 filter wrench is ok, but great. It still stuck on the oil filter housing when I wanted to remove the filter, and slipped when I tighten it.

Worked perfectly on my E55. All Mercedes M113 engines should have the same oil filter so this will work.

Be careful with other filter wrenches, they may bite too hard into the plastic oil filter cap and damage it, this is the perfect fit however.

The item was as described and fit perfectly on my '03 Mercedes V6 C320. The quality of the item is good, you can use either a socket or a 3/8 ratchet directly into the hole on top as well.

Honest reviews on Assenmacher Specialty Tools M 0219 Oil Filter Housing Cup Wrench

Works really well and looks very well made. I used this for my M111.960 engine.

I was worried that I might have purchased the wrong wrench since the official size was 74.4mm. This fits like a glove and is the equivalent of Hazet tool number 2169.

From what I've read, this will work as well for the following engines: M102, M103, M104, M112, M113, M119, M120.

PelicanParts dot com also lists this as compatible with M137, M155, M272, M275, M285, 611, 612, 613, 628, 646, 647, 648.
