oil filter preferences

[agentpineapple]

I've got to do an oil and filter change, and i'm interested to know what brand of oil filter you prefer.
in the past I've used k&n and hi-flo filters, and both have served me well, or at least as far as I can tell.
but this time i'm tempted to go for a genuine Honda filter, or is this just a waste of money?
I like to change my oil once a year approx. 5000 miles, and for the sake of a few extra quid I always do a filter at the same time.
so what do you use, and have you had good or bad experiences with certain filters.
Honda
k&n
hi-flow
are there any other brands worth trying?

mostly I use Honda, but if I cant get one in time I use champion from Halfords

I am a Hi-Flow guy, only because they used to be cheap

Fitted a KandN last Saturday easier to remove as fitted with a bolt head.Great deal on oil and filter from M and P Swansea via eBay.

I've used the motul with filter deal before, very good value, and I've used the k&n and hi-flow, but the same deals available with a Honda filter....

The motul and filter is a winner .
Sometimes you get a k&n or champion or a hiflo.
Last time I got a champion but this time I got a k&n for the bird

This is what I went for when I fitted the Mcct'ers & cams.

Champion, same for air filter. No real reason why to use over hiflo, I just trust the brand.

oem filter seems to me waste of money, last one I bought was made in EU, looking similar to champion ...

[chric]

honda this time seems better than kn from last time im no ed china though so take it with a pinch of salt but feels better

[fabiostar]

normally hiflo but not to concerned as i change it and the oil every 4k...

[sirch345]

I have always used genuine Honda oil filters,

As has been said already, whatever comes free with the motul (ebay, 25 quid)
I change mine every 4k (ish) so i aint paying anymore !!

I just use a fresh sheet of quality kitchen roll wrapped around the old filter & secured with some gaffer tape. Lasts a couple of 1000miles job done
