I did too, I have used them many times over the years. I prefer OEM, but if it's a day that the dealer is closed, I would just grab a K&N, or Mobil 1 oil filter and feel comfortable with it. Not anymore. I will post some pictures in a little while of my failed K&N-204. I will never use their products again.

I thought I had read something on this forum regarding a problem with a K&N oil filter, I looked for it last night. Somehow I missed it. Thanks, at least I know that I'm not completely nuts.
