K&N oil filter ($14) v.s. MOBIL 1 oil filter ($13)
So I went to pick up an oil filter, come to find that the MOBIL 1 & K&N are made the same! Only the KN is $1 more. For those of you who seen the KN filter, youll agree.
So today I found out The Rx8 K&N oil filter is designed the same as the MOBIL 1 oil filter, only without the nut to remove it. Only difference is that the KN is $14 and the MOBIL 1 is $13.

Besides these oil filters I also looked at the others and would put them in this order.
1. MOBIL1/ K&N
2. BOSCH
3. STP
4. Mazda OEM
5. Fram Extra guard
6. Fram
