Useful life of K&N? Opinions.... I've been running a Direct Flo lid and K&N filter for little over 2 years (maybe 40K miles), and FRA for about 1 1/2 yrs.
Last clean and reoil I noticed lots of black discoloration that wouldn't wash out.
I like the idea of running this TYPE of filter 'cause of the FRA letting so much road crap/maybe moisture to the filter.
Think I'm due for a replacement?
Opinions welcome....

Re: Useful life of K&N? Opinions.... Yeah, I know. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I guess you can't say it doesn't filter when it's dirty, but maybe it just doesn't flow too well?
