AK, I hope you don't mind me chiming in here. Purolator is a great oil filter. In my opinion, I would run it over the K&N in a heartbeat. Another brand I would try would be Wix. I currently am using a Wix filter on my Z.

how are you liking the purolator oil filter? I have been using K&N HP-1008 but I have heard great things about Purolator. I am kinda looking for your own input on the purolator vs others you've used in past . I think I want to try some other oil filters.

Thanks.

....I typically like to use OEM filters on my cars if I can, but when there appears to be a big quality issue despite the OEM branding, it's time to look elsewhere. By all indications the Purolator is a quality filter. It hasn't split, clogged , or fallen off in 3K miles, so I guess I like it!

Thank you MS and liquid. I think I want to give this a try . Now, the purolator website says pl14612 for the z34, but I see you have 14610 (scrute also suggested this). Any reason why you are using 10 instead of 12 other than bigger capacity? Thx

I thought I read that the bigger one filters better, but I'm trying to find beta ratios as we speak to tell you if that's true or not.
