K&N filter

To clean throw in garbage leave ac delco in and replace that occasionaly, unless of course you like to change engines not air filters.

A man after my own heart!

when i bought my truck it had a K&N filter on it.. I removed it after cleaning it once and after the guys here told me i was better off without it.. I put in the Wix heavy duty filter and never really noticed any difference.. I have a friend who lives on a ranch north of me and he swares by them.. but.... i dunno for sure.. to me it's not worth even the thought have letting one spec more dirt in my engine..i can buy alot of gas for what it would cost to replace a motor.

leave the AC-Delco on it and s*it-can the K$N

I had much the same kind of air filter on my Harley back in my biking days. Not enough oil and it wouldn't filter well. Too much oil and the carb ran rich (read choked) No oil and it wouldn't start because the fuel/air mixture was tooooo lean. These filters are examples of sucessful marketing combined with "There is a Sucker born every Minute" They cost a mint to buy and an even more outrageous sum to maintain. Feel the oil and think -- how does this goooo let air through? IF it lets air through then how does it filter effectively?

There is no shame in haveing been conned. The shame is in failing to wake up and smell the coffee.

If you're smart, you'll do what I and thousands like me have done - throw the K&N away and go back to a good paper filter.

The irony is, your engine can only suck in so much air. The "stock" paper air filter already flows more air than the engine can physically suck in at WOT. The "increased airflow" of the K&N is completely and utterly wasted as the engine can't use it anyways
