Fram filters suck. I use Purolator oil filters, they are pretty good. K & N are a little pricey for me. But it is all a matter of opinion. I do have a K & N air filter though. That has made a difference in how my Z runs. He breathes better, and that is a plus.

I get my K&N filters for $11 each vs 6 or 7 for other crap filters. Spending an extra $5 a couple times a year for an oil change doesn't really seem to break the bank. I just eat at Skippers one night instead of Red Lobster to make up the difference!

Filters are overrated... I don't run any kind of filters in my cars.... it unlocks a lot of powerzzzz!!!!
PS....
A lot of technicians are full of crap too. I'm in no way defending K&N tho.
Remember: filter = evil.

Sounds like you have a secret crush on him.
And there will always be someone going against the popular thing. Ask him if he's personally tested the flow rate between a K&N and the filter he "loves" now.If he's personally PROVEN that K&N sucks... it's all good. If he hasn't, tell him I say STFU.
