Has anyone tried the K&N PS-7024 oil filter?

I was going to pick up a couple of OEM filters, but I just came across the K&N PS-7024. I searched this forum for comments but did not have much success.

Surprised no one chimed in on this filter. I'm ordering a couple off of Amazon now and will try to remember to report back. I just changed the oil 1,000 miles ago, and it's motorcycle season in DC now, so it may be a while. Did you go ahead and use it devicemanager? How'd you like them?

The first thing you'll notice is that the K&N has straight red pleats vs the white zig-zag on the oem filter. Much like the oem the end caps are hard plastic, but the K&N pleats appear to be denser. The rubber o-ring and copper crush washer are also included. I have read some reviews that stated the crush washer sucks and that you should buy your own, but so far I don't see any leaks so ymmv. Made in Korea.

Just got mine from Amazon today. They look good. I've 4k miles before I need an oil change, so I'll report back then.

Just seeing this post. I have used the K&N for the last couple of changes and all seems fine. I get mine off of Amazon and I like the fact that the crush washer comes with it. I do oil changes between 5000 & 7000 miles.

I've been using them on my Justa for the last three oil changes (10k per oil change), and they come out in great shape, pleats still straight. They fit way better that the Purolator, Wix, and Manne also, more snug in the filter holder. I won't use anything else from here on out. One of the reviews on the Amazon page is mine.
