·on my 04 hemi, i just changed over to mobil 1 syn and a K&N oil filter, could i go that long with harming the engine?
dave thanks for your input and to the other member also, but as to what you said about the K&N being more restrictive i thought it was the other way around with useing the filter, doesnt the K&N improve the oil flow becasue its only filtering 10 microns? as yes the engine only has 3000 miles on it, a couple of friends told me to wait until the engine sees 20,000 to 30,000 miles on it before i let the oil in for 6000 miles, so many people telling me diffrent things im confused now :huh: , i thought useing a great oil and filter would let me get buy without having to change it every 3000 miles, because as you guys know this stuff isnt cheap and i was trying to break even with useing the mobil 1 syndgc333 said:Also, there is some controversy regarding K&N and the Mobeil 1 oil filters on the oil filter discussion groups. These filters restrict oil flow more than other filters and the discussion is to whether the restriction is more of a detriment than the improved filtering is a benefit.
10 microns is significantly smaller than the 25 microns the typical filter removes, that is why some people think that the K&N filter is more restrictive.
