Used To Be Good
Been using these for awhile until I saw they are made in Mexico now. Did some research and apparently quality and construction is worse now. Sad to see things like this get outsourced and go downhill
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Cheaply made now!

The new version of this filter is the same construction as a ac delco. Save yourself a bunch of money and buy a ac delco if you wanna run a cheaply made filter. Not what they used to be!! Ran them for 10yrs but not anymore.
I will not buy the 1008 replacement for the 1010
The 1008 Filter is slightly smaller than the 1010 Filter and it doesn't seal completely on my Honda V6 engines causing a leak. Plus the 1008's I bought didn't have the nut on the back causing me to have to buy a new filter wrench.
I have used the K&N filters on many different vehicles and have always been more than happy with them.

K&N Oil Filter
Staff Reviewer -
Nut welded on to filter makes installation and removal easy in an almost impossible to reach area (back of engine block). Worth a few extra bucks over a cheaper brand. I also saved an extrat 20% by ordering online and picking it up locally.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
You get what you pay for.

For only a couple dollars more you can get one, if not the, best oil filters in the market... per several videos and websites I've read. It's very sturdy, heavy, and well built. Also, K&N (as an auto parts company) means business. You can't lose by buying this oil filter.
