Yeah, I use RP and K&N as well.. Oil filters are filters, they really don't make too much difference. Some are just better for say.. Being able to change your oil every 10,000 miles or so(Just an example) some filters require changing earlier, some are made to last longer..

That, and turbo'd boxer motors have a tendency to shear oil down, so I can't run a normal 5w30 in the summer. Bumping it up to a 5w40 only allows it to shear down to a 30 (probably not even that far), and just keeps the motor running strong.

(oh yeah and Mobil1 is higher on the list than RP, nah ner nah ner lol)

^ spoken like a true sponsor. LMFAO na na na nana na.....
i just dont like how that test is at least 5years old! they are always coming out with new oil combinations to improve the life. hell look at those oils that say they can last what like.... 5K miles or 10K miles. i cannt even remember exactly they had 3 different types of longer than 3K miles oil change periods.

i just want new data on new oil!

Addiction, if you want live your life in denial, be my guest

Apostle, I agree. Proof has been displayed, there is a thread for oil related conversation, and this has turned into a pissing contest.
