If K&N oil filter works as well as it air filter, that mean it lets a lot of small debris throught and I don't want it.

"YIKES" read links here before making that statement, there is a lot of differents between filters. If you change every 3k miles the lower build quality will work just fine. But if you want the "BEST" that is a completely diff story.

read up here and do more research, you'll be surprised how diff filters are; and in some cases cost doesn't have anything to do with it.

have fun with these,,, there are many more.

I was right!!!
The K&N HP-1004 is a great filter. The internal construction is the same as the Mobil 1 filter, but it does not filter the down to as small a particle size. This filter is meant to maintain higher flow while still actively filtering, as opposed to by-passing. Lab tests using Mobil 1 at 7500 miles indicates that this filter works as well as the AMSOIL SDF-20:
