I know a lot of you guys don't like the K&N filters because of the risk of over-oiling it and messing up the MAF sensor.

So.... if you stick with a paper element, is there one better than the other?;or are they all about the same as far as filtering/air flow

Who's best Fram, STP, Purolator, Wix, NAPA, ect..............

Two wise choices...AC DELCO and K&N.Buy one or the other.

i have yet to see anyone proove that you can over oil your K&N filter. i know if you do it the way the directions say. their is no possibility of it happening. just another wise tale people get caught up in. just get a K&N and then wash and re-oil as needed. its cheaper and if someone is scared of over oiling their filter they have no business working on anything other than maybe putting air in a tire... thats about the level of intelligence someone needs.

The reason most people don't use the K&N is because they realize it offers less protection than the paper filters regarding dirt and **** getting into the engine..........with that said.........any paper filter is better than the K&N as far as protection goes, and they're all about the same quality. AC Delco was designed for our GM cars so you might as well use them.

I have been using K&N filters since the early 70s. Yes, you can put too much oil on them. My first use of K&N filters was on a 1974 RD350. I overoiled them, and when I removed the filters I found oil on the intake of the carburetors. Since then, I have been more careful on applying the correct amount of oil.
For a MAF-equipped engine, this would mean that the MAF would receive the extra oil until the filter is appropriately oiled. I have K&N filters on all 5 of my current vehicles, and all are appropriately oiled. This is not a put down, I merely wish to dispel misinformation.
Paper filters are another story. They do filter better, albeit at a higher overall cost, since they must be replaced. I would go with a name brand, such as AC Delco.

Get whatever's cheapest, paper's paper.

paper is paper i don't feel the need to spend 2 dollars more for a fram or another 1 after that for an ac delco since delco seems to outsource all of the parts they sell then that would mean that you just pay more for the name i use the cheapest air filter i can find.

One thing I do on my paper filters is cut out the metal mesh on the back side. Filter is still stiff enough not to distort and removing the metal mesh lets even more air flow through.
