Cheap K&N PS-1002 Oil Filter

Customer Ratings:

I bought this filter mainly because of the K&N brand name and because most reviews said it was a okay filter, although possibly inferior to the Toyota OEM filter (90915-YZZD3) for about the same price or cheaper! Now, I think other reviews also bought into the K&N name, but after seeing a few reviews where they cut into the filter, it shows that all oil filters have some area where they are lacking, even the ones that sell for 2X the cost of this one.

I have no way to tell if this filter is working any better or worst than any other, so I just change it often and hope that it's working as it should! Just make sure that it has a bypass valve and also a anti-drain back gasket although they differ in how they work and what material they use for these important features. I don't remember how this one stacks up to the others in regards to those two things.

One thing that you will immediately notice is the height of this filter compared to the Toyota OEM. It's much shorter, maybe about a 1/2" difference between the two, but the K&N seems to be the same height as most of the other non OEM I have used, so common among the "third party" choices.

Interesting that Amazon chose to ship the filter out of the box! Meaning that the filter was just rolling around in the shipping box with the K&N retail box folded up. I have no idea why they did that as the box was more than big enough to accommodate the other items in the box and since the K&N filter does not have any covering on the bottom, it was dusty. Now the Toyota filter has plastic covering the bottom to keep dust, dirt and other grit out of the filter (and isn't that what a filter is made to do!) Not good when that stuff is in the filter before you even install it!

My suggestion is to buy the OEM Toyota filter (90915-YZZD3) and you can get it at Amazon either as a single filter, filter with drain plug gasket, 5 pack and a full case of 10.

I have used all kinds of filters for my vehicle including the supposedly superior OEM (Mazda). K&N have turned out to be the best value. Super performance and good price. My only issue with this particular model is it leaves off the nut for torquing on/off the filter (understand because it is a performance filter the nut can cause a restriction issue) and it does not have the grit to help grasp the filter. It will be a bear to take the unit off without a wrench and even so, the under carriage screen leaves little room to get a wrench on the filter and give room to twist it. May have to take the screen off (royal pain in the *!!)

Overall super filter and price, but the lack of easy on/off costs it a star.

Beats the OEM filter by a country mile! I no longer hear that destructive oil-starved sound when starting my truck.

This is the least restrictive filter I've ever used on my pickup.

You can argue that this filter probably doesn't remove wear-causing particles as well as a more restrictive filter.

Probably true, but your engine doesn't care if the oil is slightly cleaner if that filter restricts its flow (especially when cold).

I'll be using this filter from now on, and I like to price-to-performance ratio.

Just my two cents....

With my old filters after 4000 miles old oil was completely black, with the K&N only a dark brown at 4000 miles. Been able to go longer between oil changes.

K&N is a great brand and this filter works as great as any. I would imagine better, but I haven't done any technical testing.

I am a drag racer from the 1960's and I have always used Valvoline products in my racing engines and in my family vehicles. Full Synthetic was not available then however Valvoline then was ahead of the crowd for lubrication protection, anti-sledge build up and thermal stability.

I started using the Valvoline synthetic when it came out years ago. Although I do not use it in racing engines any longer I do use it in a variety of high performance applications and in my 4 wheel drive.

All of my vehicles have Valvoline full synthetic oil and I can say I have not had any kind of failure, cold start up performance is terrific, I believe the synthetic coats the cylinder walls and does not bleed down like regular oil. I have two vehicles that are dual overhead cam, all aluminum engines that operate a high RPM and I am entirely satisfied with the protection and performance of Valvoline full synthetic.

The Amazon price with supersaver shipping is equal to or beats all of my local retailers even the big one that starts with "W".

I recommend.

This oil works beautifully in my 90hp Evinrude 2 stroke and it has the added bonus of being able to tell the anti 2-stroke crowd to go pound tar!

I'm all about doing what we can to protect and preserve our environment, especially our inbound freshwater lakes and estuaries. It's nice to have a product that takes the sting out of burning a conventional petroleum based oil. Would be a 5 star review if the price were a bit more competitive.

Both my wife's 2006 Rav4 and my 2009 Yaris use the 1003 oil filter. I made the switch to synthetic oil about 4 years ago and have saved a ton of money. I used to get oil changes every 3K miles. I also used get my oil changes at Wallymart but their totally incompetent workers finally convinced me that a blind monkey could do a better job!

Anyway...this is a great filter. As you probably have read from the other reviews, the nut that is welded on the top (or bottom) of the filter makes it so easy to remove when you do your oil changes.

I am of the mind that you can go 10 12K on synthetic oil with one of these filters. The extended oil drain theory works and saves you a lot of money. I hear some people change out the oil filter every 6K, but when you pay $10 for a filter....that gets a little expensive.

I usually buy my oil at Wallymart or Advance Auto. AA has some good deals....sometime when they run out of the free filters they give you when you buy 5 qts. of oil, they will substitute a K&N filter. So its a really good deal then!

So use the product with confidence! Especially if you do the work yourself.

The ability to snag the end of the oil filter with my socket is priceless. Use these on all four of our cars and cuts down oil change times by quite a bit. Any Honda owner knows they hide the filter to make sure you donate blood while attempting to remove it. With the piece on the end, just ratchet it off! Never a leak. Always runs for a full year, usually 6-8000 miles before change out. Combine it with superior synthetic oil, no problems. I usually order 4-5 at a time as price does go up and down.

They don't really get better than this, honestly. Don't take my word for it, do a quick YouTube search and you'll find videos of filter dissections that reveal the build quality and what's inside. What sets this one apart from the rest is the ability to remove with a standard 1 inch drive. I've got a killer grip, but why curse and fight with something when you don't have to? Totally worth the price and piece of mind. I run this on my Scion Xb with Mobil 1 full synthetic high mileage.

Honest reviews on K&N HP-1003 High Performance Oil Filter

One of the reasons I use K&N is the bolt on the end of the filter....both of my vehicles have the filter located in an out of the way place....what cars don't today? The 1 " bolt head makes it much easier to take off the old filter....and according to tests, the filter is among the top in filtering capacity. I change oil at about 3-4K mile intervals and also use synthetic oil....cheap insurance IMHO !

This is by far one of the best oil filters on the market. The studies I've read about synthetic media filter shows that they filter exceptionally well. You can actually feel the quality of this filter when you handle it. It is sturdy and hefty. The weight of the filter gives about the amount of filter material available. And one bonus that I love is the nut, which makes removes a snap.

Been using K&N filters in our tow vehicle for years. Now we use them in all our vehicles. Thick outer shell doesn't crush when squeezed by an oil wrench. No burrs around the threads like cheaper products.

The K&N Performance Gold oil filter is the best for racing because:

1.The 1" nut welded to the end makes removal quick and easy.

2.Drilled safety wire holes for racing.

3.Metal leaf spring provides a positive, leak-proof seal between element and lid.

4.Thicker walls and end plate gives over 550 psi bursting strength.

5.Resin-impregnated filter media provides maximum filtering surface for contaminant removal.

6.Steel inner core provides extra structural support to prevent filter collapse.

7.Bearing-Saver Anti-Drainback Valve eliminates "dry" starts.

8.Rolled threads provide protection against stripping.

9.Leak-proof double rolled seam.

10.Internally lubricated gasket allows easy installation and removal.

11.Unaffected by racing fuels, MTBE, and E-85.

12.Low pressure drop flows 12-16 gallons per minute.

NO OTHER automotive oil filter meets these specs -BUT -like all other things that seem too good to be true, the K&N Performance Gold has 2 MAJOR drawbacks:

1. The same 10-20 micron filtering ability that allows those super-high flow rates also means that the oil filter is only 90% (K&N's numbers)efficient.

2. That 90% efficiency also means that the filter allows larger dirt particles to remain in the oil, and you're stretching your luck by running the K&N oil filters for more than 3,000 miles. That super-duper synthetic juice isn't any good when it's full of dirt, so the advantages of long-life synthetic oils are lost on the K&N's high flow-rate capacity.

Once again, we're looking at a trade-off --

If you NEED the K&N's RACING advantages more than you NEED the 5,000-mile filter-change intervals, then the K&N is PERFECT for you.

If you NEED to use synthetic oils and go for the longer (5,000+) change intervals, I suggest a different brand of oil filter.

The BOSCH Premium Oil Filter #3410 that crosses to the K&N #HP2010 is also made in the USA. It doesn't have the hi-flow features of a K&N, but the BOSCH "FILTECH" filtration media advertises a 98% efficiency, and can go for 5,000 miles with API "SN", ILSAC 5, "Dexos1" approved full synthetic oil (5W30 Pennzoil Platinum). Remember that a high-efficiency filter will CLOG SOONER, so pushing your oil filter for more than 5,000 miles is neither prudent nor thrifty. Actually, stupid is what it is !! You CANNOT repair the damage done by a clogged filter by replacing the filter !!

For EXTENDED oil-and-filter change intervals, Mobil 1 offers an "Extended Life" oil filter that's made just for "Extended Service" synthetic oils -but is NOT available (due to size restrictions) for all vehicles. There is no Mobil 1 Extended Life Oil Filter available that crosses with the K&N #HP2010 or the Bosch #3410.

Non-racing applications of today's modern gasoline engine specifications can best be met with the use of full synthetic oils that meet the latest API "SN", ILSAC 5, and Dexo1 specs. The API "SN" designation allows for use in ALL gasoline engines, including supercharged and turbocharged gasoline engines from ALL manufacturers.

If you're wondering just which is the best oil for YOUR particular vehicle, go to the Mobil-1 website and look for the "Best Oil For My Car" tab. Answer a few questions about your engine, and they'll give you the correct VISCOSITY specifications according to their manufacturers' data-base.

Use whatever BRAND of oil that you want -it's the API-ILSAC Specifications and the PROPER VISCOSITY of the oil that matters most.

The old myths of "thicker oil lubricates better" and "more detergent means less oil" are long gone -the new synthetic formulations have made it easy for anyone to have the best lubrication available.

Selecting the right lubes and filters for YOUR driving requirements is an important part of vehicle ownership.

Good Luck !!

Cheap Hopkins FloTool 11849 Dispos-Oil Recycle Oil Jug

This was exactly what I was looking for (a very wide-mouthed jug that can hold more than one oil change), and surprisingly, I've never seen another product like it.

I've always stayed away from using the bulky oil pan/container combos, because they look like they would make a mess, and are usually very low quality. Using one of these with a traditional open-faced oil pan is perfect, and creates very little mess. The mouth of the jug is even wide enough so that you don't need to use a funnel when transferring oil from the pan to the jug (so long as you're somewhat careful). If you've been using old milk jugs or something similar, then you know how much of a mess this can create due to spills, over-fills, and drippy funnels as you switch jugs. The extra wide mouth, and 12 quart capacity eliminates all of these problems.

I got this at a local autoparts store for about half of the current listed price on Amazon, and even then felt that I was over paying (but like I said, I've never seen another product like it, so I had no choice but to pay what they were asking). As other reviewers have mentioned, the plastic is very thin, and the cap does not go on very securely. I filled it with water when I got home in order to test it (better to have to clean up a water mess than an oil mess), and found that there were no leaks at all around the thin plastic's mold seam, but when I turned it upside down, as predicted, the area around the cap leaked heavily.

This shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't over fill it, but it would be nice if it were better quality. Just pick up any American-made gas container, and you will immediately see and feel the difference. These jugs are made with blown plastic, and probably cost less than $0.50 each to produce and ship, so it really is a shame that the price is so high.

Like I said, these jugs are very convenient, but due to the poor quality, and the fact that they will obviously get knocked around while doing what they were intended to do, I don't expect it to last longer than a year or two. Oh well..

I'd been looking for a product like this for quite some time: A container intended for storing and transporting used motor oil. I change my own oil, and have always had a self-storing oil drain catch pan. It held about the same amount as one of these containers, but was hard to store and even harder to transport.

Nothing terribly special about these containers. The approximate dimensions are 11.5" tall x 8.5" wide x 12.5" long. It feels quite sturdy, holds 12 quarts, and the mouth is approximately 2.5" in diameter. It seems to be priced kind of high for what it is: a molded plastic jug with a cap. But it's exactly what I was looking for, and it's the only one I've ever seen. I bought two, so as to avoid frequent trips to the local oil recycling center.

The plastic on this container is very thin. The lid is poorly designed, does not seal properly and thus leaks. If you are still intrigued by this item and must have it, go to Walmart. It can be had there for $3.98; cheaper than Amazon/Ace Hardware.
