Oil cooler, oil change

K&N is a good filter, actually inside is identical to the M1.

I have the longer one, basically it's the GTR size filter, personally i don't think it really does anything especially if you don't run extended OCI (oil change cycle).

If you plan to run the oil for, say 8k miles under dusty condition, longer filter may help but I don't have quantitative data to prove that it's needed.

i typically do 4-5k miles so far but i did let this one go a bit long i think im at 7k since i knew it was going away for winter and i was planning on going with a oil cooler
