I'll take another look next time I buy my oil changing goods, but I remember the k&n being cheap. Even if it's 10, that's worth it to me for a superior quality oil filter. I get my stuff at Autozone too

k&N = 12 bucks, the M1 filter was about 8-9. As of yesterday at autozone. The K&N is a better filter than the M1 and all others out there right now. Cut the filters in half and you will see what I mean. The M1 is not a bad filter though, and if on a budget I would pick one of those up.

Yep, in the Austin area too.

Bigger deal is the $5.99 European Castrol 0w-30. That makes for an expensive oil change ...
