Just curious if these are even worth it? The price is nice but other than that, how well do they filter?

Are K&N oil filters worth it?

They look like red Densos Toyota OEM YZZA1 style filters. I would not image they were all that bad on filtering as these are not touted for high flow, high performance applications. Surprisingly good value for a high performance name brand.
The denso filter from Toyota are not ranked high on filtering either by the way. Good enough for OEM, good enough for me.

If it says K&N one thing for sure expensive.
No.
K&N cartridge filters are typically made in S. Korea and sold at a fair price. Have run them before without issue.
$4.50 at walmart. not bad
I don't think its any kind of special or high quality filter just because its a K&N.
"Performance Silver" is K&N's value line. but $4.50 for a cartridge is a good enough deal it might be worth trying.
Not at all, I posted a picture a while back of one collapsed after 7k out of a cayenne.
I don't think they're that good, but that red color is nice
I have seen discusssions on her in any number of threads that K&N's micron rating is average.
I've used one on my Mercedes e320 cause it was a lot cheaper than the Mann filter. It did what it's supposed to do.

I used them with the "1-inch nut" years ago with no issues.
No. K&N built their reputation on flow, not efficiency. Your engine probably won't blow up, but still I say no.
Use the OEM filter or another reputable brand, too many good ones at around the same price.
