I know they LOOK the same but the hatching might be in a slightly different location or something, might be deeper cuts as well.
EDIT: I'm using the HP1008 K&N filters, not sure on the capacity though.
I've used that K&N oil filter in the past, it didn't appear to show any difference on my dipstick!

Overnight isn't necessary, less than an hour all oil w/b drained back into the pan for a very accurate reading!
