Really intrigued by the statement "Oil filter has failed".
What does this mean? Has it failed to filter? Failed to stay on?
How was it's failure diagnosed? Is it a visible failure from the outside, such as a massive leak or burst? Or a forensic analysis after an engine seizure?

Yes definitely use oil.
Always remove the plastic film from the top of a new filter before fitting.

...and finally "Oh, and by the way K&N filter?".
A statement followed by a question mark.
So are you saying the filter that failed was a K&N and you question if this could possibly be the reason for the failure, or perhaps you are questioning how unusual it is for a K&N filter to fail.
Maybe you are stating that the filter in question is a K&N filter and the question mark is a typo.
Perhaps you are questioning the suitability of a K&N filter as a replacement.

Anyway everybody has had a jolly time quoting their choice of oil...Hope you are suitably confused.
