Who would buy a K&N filter after seeing this?
Thanks for the post...I have always told people about K and N filters but
the Rice Boys don't want to listen and they all want their cold air intakes. What do they care about long term engine health? Not much since they cars will be long thrashed or wrecked before the engine will be toasted due to dirt bypass of the air filters.

I'm skeptical. My use of K&N filters has matched the claims of K&N in my
25 years of using the product. Maybe they dont work in Diesels. (-: -SP TeGGer® wrote: > http://home.usadatanet.net/~jbplock/ISO5011/SPICER.htm > > (Link comes courtesy of Daniel Stern in rec.autos.tech) > |

(-: > > -SP > what claims are those? for the pedantic, grapic 4 shows the restriction of the filters, ie. the difficulty of passing air through. if you /are/ a ricer and you're prepared to sacrifice the longevity of all the money you invested in the motor for a gain in air flow rate, then k&n is the way to go. i'd personally never use one and would never buy a car that had, but hey, to each their own. |

I've put on over 100,000km on my K&N filter. But recently, I've switched
over to the regular Honda filter in order to maximized on my oil change intervals. In the past, I used to change the oil at every 6000km, but now I've extened the oil change intervals to every 16,000km. Even after 16,000km of use, the Mobel-1 oil is still in great condition (however 1.5L of top-up is required to reach 16,000km...). If the car was running on the K&N filter and went 16,000km without an oil change, I'd probably have to junk the car. Pars 98 DX Hatch 5spd, 215000km. "speedy" > wrote in message ... > I'm skeptical.

Thought he could save money by replacing the first stage paper filter with an oiled filter (believe it was K&N). Within a few hours the second stage filters were clogging up. |
