I just put one in day before yesterday. It looks complicated in the owner's manual but it's very easy. Also I noticed a big difference in power, though the one I removed was in the car when I bought it six months ago and was one of the dirtiest air filters I've ever seen. I see lots of warnings about oiled filters and MAF sensors getting dunked up and failing. As expensive parts go, that's fairly easy to remove as well once you have the top hatch off. Im making it a habit to remove and clean mine frequently and watch for buildup etc. I never saw any posts about failed sensors where they said they cleaned the sensor on a regular basis. I don't know if that will eliminate problems or not, but just wanted to run it by you. I live just off a 55mph road. Since putting in the K&N I can now fishtail around that corner while accelerating, which I didnt have the power to do previously. Good luck! Anyone running an oiled air filter, please chime in on the MAF sensor issue. Have you had to replace yours? Did you ever clean the one that went bad?
