I own a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid and this 0W-20 synthetic oil is just perfect. Until recently, this price (just under $10 a quart) was the best I could find anywhere. However, the Wal-Mart in my area has started to carry the 5 quart jugs of Mobil 0W-20 for about $23. Obviously, I am going to shop locally now but if you can't get the synthetic oil this is a good option.

Hands down the best oil I have used for 5w-20 or 0w-20 engines. Fuel economy improvement is minimal 1%-2% so don't expect miracles and you won't be disapointed. However the protection is top notch. I change oil at 6 miles or 6 months mainly because it is a new vehicle and I don't want to "push it". Depending on your driving habits you may get much more. Mobil 1 claims it is good for 10,000 mile drain interval and I believe it. The oil is still very clean when I change it at 6 months.

It is a little more than other synthetics but given you only need 2 oil changes a year and extra $10-$20 is negligible compared to total annual operating cost (vehicle, financing, insurance, fuel, registration, repairs, etc).

Only reason I take off one star is Mobil has decided not to sell this product in 5 qt jugs. I find 5 qt jug much more convenient (and cheaper).

On amazon pricing.... What are you thinking Amazon? This can be found for $6-$7 at Walmart. Even local auto parts stores (not known for great values) has it for $7-$8 (or $6 when buying case) per qt. Amazon pricing isn't even in the right ballpark to be competitive. Amazon cut the price to $7 and also sell it by the case (6 qts for $36) and you might get some sales.

I run this for about 10,000 miles before changing and it is cleaner when I change it than conventional oils at 5000 miles. No issues with my vehicles. It saves so much time and effort it is worth the extra cost. I also use high performance filters.

0w-20 isn't easy to come by even where I live. I didn't want to purchase from the dealer because it would be too expensive. This was my first purchase of oil for my car and I am happy with it. Works well, though I wish it were available for purchase in a larger container to keep down a bit on the packaging.

Really like the product. DO NOT pay this price. I purchased a five gallon jug for 23 dollars at Walmart just yesterday.

Best K&N KN-138 Powersports High Performance Oil Filter Deals

Of course, you have the K&N name. Honestly, it's not like I can tell if the K&N oil filter filters oil better than another oil filter. But get this one any, if for no other reason than the fact that there's a hex protrusion on the end so you can remove it with a socket wrench when it's time to change.

I had a Fram on there before, and it was fine. But when it came time to take it off, I tried using an oil filter wrench, which just slipped constantly and the filter never budged (I think something had hit the filter at some point as there was a small dent on it, which probably caused the slippage). Then I pulled out the strap wrench, which BROKE before I could get the filter off. That's right, I broke the strap on a strap wrench!

With the K&N's, it's a simple matter of breaking out the socket wrench. So easy. It's worth a couple extra bucks just for that.

Look around though, if the price seems high. I paid about $7.50 for mine at a local bike shop.

Love this k&n filter, only one I use on my oil changes now. The nut on the end is a awesome designe, helps out a ton!

Perfect fit, works well. The socket end sure made it easier and cleaner to change oil. Definite will buy more of these.

Very pleased with this filter. The nut on top makes for an easy installation and removal. And the price shipped was several dollars cheaper than what I could buy it locally for. What's not to like?

I generally love K&N filters and use them on our cars. Not only are they of exceptionally high quality, they are Made in the USA and Lord knows we can use the work here. I bought this filter for my bike assuming the same great K&N product I've come to know. I was very disappointed that I paid the premium price only to get a filter that while not bad quality, it's not up to K&N standards and it's not made in the US. It's made in Asia and with the quality not being up to snuff I would pass on this part number.

As an aside, Mobile 1 filters are the same as K&N except they don't have the weldnut on the bottom. Sometimes you can get the Mobil 1 filters for less money if you don't mind not having the weldnut feature.

My first oil change was an environmental disaster. It was like changing the diaper on a new born. Not anymore! With this oil change I eagerly broke the package and replaced the drain plug with the Fumoto F-107N for my 2008 Acadia. The flange on the oil pan was just a bit too intrusive and the last turn did take an extra "umph" that relieved my fear that it was too big to fit. With the Fumoto F-107N in place I tested my reach from the front of the vehicle and can turn the Fumoto F-107N on and off minus the ramps. What fun now to pop the hood. change the filter and with a short tube attached drain the old oil with a twist. No mess! How much is this worth to me? Every penny, and my neighbors smile thinking I've finally mastered mechanics. I'll tell them April first.

An update to my first oil change with the Fumoto F-107N.

A question:"Would it leak?" was answered; no, not a drop! Then, the watch was on reading the percentage of oil life left from the Oil Life Monitor System. A notice from my dealer called for a change 2 months before the message, "change oil" prompted action with the Fumoto F-107N. A scant 2 inches necessitated some spare lumber for clearance to place the empty oil container with a short piece of tubing from the Fumoto F-107N. From the front of my 2008 Acadia the arms reach was perfect and the oil pan hot, hot, hot. I used an old rag to turn the Fumoto F-107N on, and let it drain. With the new filter and oil added I capped the old oil and stored the tube. Total time under my vehicle to operate the Fumoto F-107N -20 seconds (I'm slow) Did I miss messing with the oil plug and catch pan; no. Am I happy with the Fumoto F-107N, you betcha!

I installed one of these valves on my F150 w/ Ecoboost to assist with draining oil, my oil pan won't catch oil from both drain plug and filter a the same time-they are to far apart, with this valve I plan to use a short piece of hose attached to valve to make oil changes a lot neater.

The valve went on easy,I had to buy an adapter for mounting clearance.

The best part is I won't have to haul a wrench under truck while changing oil

A perfect solution to the uncontrolled oil drainage on the Ford F150 with EcoBoost motor. The first oil change (without the Fumoto installed) was an oily mess. This valve makes it much more manageable. The valve appears to be of good quality. I didn't need the adapter and if installed it would cause interference with the transmission to cooler lines.

I would recommend this product to anyone who does their own oil changes.

Honest reviews on Fumoto F-107N Engine Oil Drain Valve

My 3rd vehicle to have one, wouldn't own a vehicle without it!! You dont need the additional adapter fitting for the Ecoboost in the F150, fits great and is easily accessible without it.

now i can do my oil changes without any wrenches.

im worried about clearance issues a little bit, since the valve and hose nipple sit ~1.5" lower than the drain plug.

i also placed a vacuum cap over the nipple for added dirt protection

These OEM filters have the silicone anti-drainback valve in them, to keep the oil in your top end when the engine is not running. Aftermarket filters allow the oil to drain back into the pan, causing more wear in the engine at startup, which you do not want.

Amazon price is getting very high on these(7.99 each)Bought several when they had them for 4.50 each. Wal-Mart had them today for 3.99 .I bought a dozen at that price. It is a great filter. The dealer cut in half a Fram and a Motorcraft and displayed them side by side. The Motorcraft had twice as many pleats which = more filtering.

No leaking, filters well, no particulates coming out of the filter after a change. It's big and has a lot of filtering material so I know it will last. Seems very well built.

Only buy Mann filters for the mercedes. I will not buy anything else. With the extended time between oil changes, you need to have a filter that will last. So far so good.

and easy to change (once you've done it a few times....ha!) Good product and a good way to save money too.
