I've only seen two independent tests of oiled filters versus "paper". Consumer Reports and some reputable car mag, which one escapes me. Both results were more dirt and in larger particles made its way to the engine. Lots lots more.

If you are willing to trade that for noise, go for it.

I don't live in a high air particulate area and if I did I might not. By your own admission, Mike, you have been out of the arena you were once in and in your statement you allude to things that you have no concrete evidence for, in particular a test of the EVOM CAI system so perhaps it's best you enjoy your retirement and stop giving unsupported advice.

I did not make any statement relating to the Evcom product.

I merely injected some independent testing results re oiled filters into the discussion. It always helps if the OP has the most info from which to make an informed choice.

Ageism comments don't belong here.

"If you are willing to trade that for noise, go for it."
And neither does sarcasm.
