I went to the local shop and bought filter and when I got home I have a k&n oil filter. I can take it back
Im sure its not going to harm my motor but will it make any difference for the better ?
maybe I should run these instead of the oem ?

Thats what I did. I got the HiFlos in bulk off ebay. I like to change the oil more often, and they look as good as OE. So far so good.

after paying 14 bucks for 1 oem honda filter i started looking around. i went with the k&n too, so far so good - for half the price!

hi-flo's are another half the price off k&n's

$14 for an oem, i paid $8 and that was $2 off the retail...i have thought about going with k&. i ran one for a few rides in my 400ex, then i swamped it. got no water in the oil at all when i did the oil change that evening. i like to think the k&n helped out with that...

I have been using the K&N filters in both my TRX and my CRF since I bought them. No problems at all.
