I replaced my OEM-type air filter with a K&N filter, does anyone around here have any experience with these filters? good, bad or indifferent?

Thanks!

any particular questions?

 

Not really, I was looking for feedback from anyone who has any experience using these filters, again either good, bad or indifferent - I have a good friend who is a trained mechanic with years of experience who does not recommend these over OEM or traditional paper style filters. His main concern is that these [K&N] filters are not as efficient as advertised - letting small particles thru. I do understand the concept, or at least in theory and have read the promotional points from K&N but have not seen any independent test results or comparison between these and their paper style counterparts.

 

Biggest problem is over oiling them, gunking things up downstream.

I guess first I'd ask what you want it to do fo r you?

 

Don thanks for your feedback. I just look at key efficiencies such as cost, maintainability, and reliability.
