Threads read about a 50/50 split of those how contribute a problem to running one and those how have had reasonable luck running one. The other thing you'll find is allot of negative comments from people who have never used one??

K&N filters have to be cleaned every 2000 miles?
I thought cleaning them at every oil change is good enough, am I wrong?

How much dust and dirt do you drive through? More dust = clean more often.

I used K&N in offroad motorsport for 20 years and liked them in that application. I just don't see much upside with these cars yet there are a lot of downsides. I prefer a stock filter for 986/987 cars.
