If there ever was a test that should have included a Fram, and a purolater with a good seal, this was it
I know of cars that used cheap oil at 10k+ OCI and lasted over 125,000 miles. What does that prove? One case, does not make good proof. People on this board are looking for what's best, not what might get them by. This board is also based on actual testing and proof. Anyone that provides this shouldn't be flamed. If anyone is showing bias it's the K&N users.quote:

My friend has my 1996 Silverado and it has over 125,000 miles. When it was new I installed a K&N filter, its still in there today. Truck is sitting about 500 ft from me at this moment. His engine never used oil the 3 yrs I had it and not since he has had it. I put in Amsoil Series 2000 at 1000 miles, changed oil once a year and he does the same. I never ran an UOA.
So I think all this filter testing by self proclaimed experts to be nothing but product bashing. Everyone distrusts everyone, naturally every manf. can't be trusted and lies about there products and these guys are the only ones that can see thru the maze.
I got one of those foam filters in my 2002 Firebird, my 2004 GMC, my 1993 Lumina, my 2001 Honda Rancher. Won't change my mind.
T-Keith, it proves that an engine with a K&N can last 125,000 miles. If that's acceptable engine life when driven under the conditions that one engine was driven, then the testimonial is meaningful and a K&N is rrrright for youquote:

I've had K&Ns on several cars for years. My Wife's came off a couple weeks ago, and I don't plan on buying anymore.

So if I understand you we cannot question these tests and should fall in line and agree?quote:
