i have a k&n as well never let me down!! +1 k&n

 

i have a K&N, ive got the FRAM done so it gets dirty, i clean it. i overly oil soak it. never had a problem w/ a maf to date.

 

I oil mine.................lightly..very..lightly.. ALL the builders use a KN.filter.

 

I have a K&N because it came with my car. Otherwise I'd probably just rock the paper filter. It look like the paper ones would do a better job trapping ****, but that's just me.

 

I do know this, I wipe my A$$ with paper and most surgeons use gauze for the really important stuff...... just a thought.

 

Do surgeons clean the used guaze, oil it then re-use it?

 

 

i have washed mine so many times it is white and black it get really dirty were my ram air cut out is but i never oil it

 

had a k + n, sold it with a lid, went back to the paper filter. if you give me a k and n THATS CLEAN i'd use it, but i'm not paying 65 bucks for a friggin filter.

 

this is quite the dumbest ******* thing i've ever heard, but it's close. there are sanitation reaon why this is impossible...an LS1 is slightly less suseptible to infection than a human being.

 

lol

 

have used only paper filters here, i see no point in wasting that much money on a air filter that does nothing for my car but get oil all over my MAF

 

never really heard anybody getting there MAF messed up b.c of the oil,jus dont oil it so much.....
$65 is worth it, instead of buying a new paper filter every week or two...$5 builds up...
+1 for K&N

 

Another guy who ditched his K&N for a paper

 

They will if it's made by K&N.

 

+1

 

my car came with a k&n....after the 12k that i put on it it still looks clean, no black crud or build up of any kind and it still has that nice pinkish red color, like the center a rare steak, to it...lord only knows the last time it was cleaned, but it still looks new to me. no MAF problems, plenty of air flow, no debris in my intake or valley...can't argue with that

 

You were buying paper filters every couple of weeks?

 

I have both to ease my laziness. I toss in the paper when i'm cleaning the K&N (always take a day or two when i get busy, forgetting and all)
I like the K&N, my pop's who has been a tech on race teams, worked for OEM's, and built plenty of diff platforms has used them forever. Why should I not trust them?

 

The only downside of the K&N is the potential for the oil to contaminate the MaF. Personally, I use one of the new EA filters from Amsoil. Good for 100k and no oil needed. Filters better than paper too.
