well you can switch over to synthetic, some people dont recommend it after the car has so many miles on it. however i personally like synthetic best...as far as the filter im sure a stock filter does just as good, i run stp filters personally, just bc the filter is bigger doesnt mean its better....and i think that k&n charges way too much for them

Use the synthetic. Synthetic is always better. It won't make much of a difference other than you can go longer before you have to change it again.

As for the filter, there's really no "this filter is best" way of looking at it. Some filters filter better but flow less oil, others flow more oil but filter less.

Either way, K&N filters are made by Champion Labs which is known for making quality filters. So go ahead and use it. It's not a "lesser" quality than a Honda filter.
