How can a K&N or any airfilter affect the engine performance in the winter month? The air temperature to the motor will be the same regardless of the filter type. The quantity of air into the motor is basicly constant based on the motor revolution since the motor is a constant discplacement.

I have been using a stock type K&N for 3 years with no problems. I have had reduction in milage during the winter months with both filters. It is not the filter but a combination of temperature, related fuel mixtures, additional friction in greased components etc.
