Today, the climate control replacement LCD kit arrives. Basically a 60,000 mile service with "extras"

Read several posts and articles stating that K&N oil can foul MAF and other Sensors.
After reading all the info available online about K and N and Porsches, I decided to stick with Porsche recommendations/OEM. I agree with those who have concluded that the cost of sensors and other potential damage outweigh the potential minor boost in hp.

Respectfully,
Mitchell

Hi Mitchell

With all respect, this is a myth and started by disposable/paper-based filter competitors (manufacturers). The internet has it all these days but often, accurate information comes from those who are most affected, not the (internet) sensor owners themselves

It isn't a myth. I've seen it myself. Besides that K&N filters are pretty terrible filters compared to paper elements. There was a great website that did a comparison in which they put a paper element behind the K&N and you could see all the crap it caught missed by the K&N. Paper is cheap insurance...like oil changes. FYI there is a Honda Prelude paper conical filter element available that is a great substitute for K&N's.

Many posts from users support not using K & N. I also experienced fouling of plenum and sensor on my Mazda MX-5. I regularly used fuel system cleaner to keep her running smoother and would have removed the K&N if I didn't sell her first.

Caveat Emptor.
