Hi flash, i only put the K & N on my motor when the warranty was up and i checked with my insurance and there was no increase in premium as it was a panel filter with no increase in BHP etc. The filter does not need cleaning or re oiling for around 50, 000 miles and oil and cleaning kits come for about £7 with comprehensive instructions. The kits will clean and re oil the filter many times. What i like about the k & n is it is a direct replacement for the standard filter so no messing with tools etc...Well pleased to date.
I've recently bought a service kit for my motor from ebay for around £30 consisting of 5l of Nissan oil, Nissan oil filter and sump washer, pollen filter & spare air filter all genuine Nissan in genuine Nissan packaging and the price includes delivery!
Service not due till October 2012 but at this price its a bargain. Will get my oil change done for £10 labour including getting rid of my old oil and filter and stamping my service book.
Have recently done my pollen filter myself so have a spare now for next year.
I've now got my eye on a set of Denso spark plugs around £50 including delivery on ebay which are the iridium type.
My wifes car is running like a dream with FSH and the oil is still clean from the October 2011 oil change but have it done yearly whatever miles have been covered.
Just starting to price up tyres, had a look at Falkens, any thoughts anyone out there, wifes car is a 2007 57 plate 1.6 Tekna automatic currently running on Continentals (front are getting a little low so looking to replace.)
