never seen these before how good are they, has anybody used them like to now how you rate them

ive heard of k&n's for ours also mobil do one again not sure how they perform in tests compared to the original or even a wicks , anyone ??

Sounds like this could be the new boy racer weapon of choice :rofl: :rofl:

 

But seriously tho, i'm pretty sure a normal OEM oil filter is the best way for a zed :)

I'd say your right

genuine dealer filter is probably the best way to go but can they be improved by these after market filters

If you really want good filtration, you'd be better off looking at fitting a hydraulic filter. It would't last that long, but you'd be taking out contimanant from anything as small as a 1 micron.

 

The technology in that K&N filter is no different than any other filter. It's probably made by Coopers (Sogefi) anyway who make most of the OEM filters. They are just using their Air Filtration name to generate sales with this spin-on can.

 

The thing that made the OEM filter paramount was the fact that it had an anti-drain valve (55U). This filter is no longer made, (nissan offer something compatible though, a 55Y which does not have the valve) but I do believe WIX made one with an anti-drain valve, which, is supposed to be a pretty good filter.

So when is yours coming?? :rofl:

yeah ive read up about the wix filter having a anti-drain feature similar to the original but went to nissan as was in a hurry

 

only thing i got advised is dont use a (fram or hal***ds) filter as they dont perform that well in tests apparently?:nono:

The K+N filter is meant to very good and made by the same people as the excellent Mobil1 filter(very difficult to find for the zed), it will probably the next filter I buy for mine!

So when is yours coming?? :rofl:

 

You tell me Davey boy, you'll have to split them and send me mine :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
