I run K&N filters in both my Honda's and now I am reading they might not be the best choice. So I started some research and was reading about WIX fitlers...Any ideas on these filters? Or any recommendations?

Thanks!

I went out and bought two WIX air filters for my cars. My Accord runs smoother and more powerful with the WIX filter. It was immedaite difference. My car idles like its not even running....

 

What the heck is a WIX filter? where did you find it, how did you hear about it?

 

I found it on http://www.bobistheoilguy.com . I got hooked on filters from Honda-Tech and started using Filtech OEM filters. Then I decided I would look into air filters. On http://www.bobistheoilguy.com they were talking about K&N not totally filtering the air. So I started reading the forum the most recommended filters were OEM, WIX, and Pureolator. So, I looked up WIX online http://www.wixfilters.com . I have seen where people on Honda Tech use WIX oil filters. So I thought that I would try. My car runs smoother and stronger with the WIX filter. They are not reusable, so after X miles you have to replace it. Mine was around 15 bucks.


Hope this helps!

 

O really gotta look into this

Replaced the K&N with Wix in my CR-V and had the same results. It runs smooth and stronger with the Wix brand than with the K&N. I am going to track mpg stats and post later....

 

Apex'i filter .. good power and good filtration. it's dry and doesn't need to be oiled and cleaned.

outperformed the k&n, hks, and blitze in both HP and filtering properties.
