Allround Oil Change

[Faid]

well i would like to know what your opinion is about K&N gold oilfilter and using a filter magnet. when i was running my engine in and had installed my oilfilter relocation kit and cooler a friend of mine advised me to buy that filter, with a filter magnet well i can tell you i am quite satisfied with the preformance of the filter. and not to drift off topic but what is the best differential oil and ATTESA fluid. i chaged my diffs to nismo GT 1.5 way rear and a KAAZ 1 way in the front and its time that i change the fluids, when i filled them up last time i used KAAZ fluid in both of them (friend bought too much of the stuff for me), they were a bit noisy in the begining but after the first oilchange they were good and behaved well so far (but need to replace them) and since ive had the car ive never changed the ATESSA fluid so its way overdue. in my gear box ill be changing to Redline lightweight shock proof from the castrol i used to run the Crossmission gearset in.

If K&N oil filters are as good as their air filters they are probably worth a look. I'll stick to my Cooper filters or failing that, the nissan OEM ones.

The filter magnet is a waste of time IMO.

No, oil filter magnet does work. Just find some used harddisk magnet and stick it around your oil filter, it will trap tiny microns of metal particles going through the oil filter.

They could well have some benefit, but remember they'll only attract ferrous metals. No substitute for regular oil and filter changes, but I guess if you're sticking a magnet on your filter you are already concerned about maintaining your car properly

it would probably be cheaper just to stick a magnet to a normal filter.

also they wil only attract steel. aluminium isn't magnetic.
