I checked her oil and was down to like 2 quarts left in car, could have blown her Turbo engine. I contacted k&n, showed pics, then they wanted me to mail back etc etc. I just took the loss, filter had oil in it, so was a mess, but could see spot where oil was dripping from tiny hole under the nut.
K&N moved their oil filter production to Mexico and Korea, I moved my purchasing to Wix. WIX 57060XP is a real nice filter. Checks all the boxes for a high quality filter. The old 48 was nice. Not a fan of Es. The XP series in WIX is on all my street drivers, Wix racing filters on the race car.
