Re: K&N filter

I don't recommend K&N air filters. I had a friend put one in on an older Jeep Cherokee. About 2k miles later he pulled the intake and found a lot of fine dust inside it. He immediately switched back to the regular filter. Gas mileage, HP, whatever benefits you get definitely do not outweigh the drawbacks (having to rebuild an engine). I got my 02 and found the K&N filter in the stock intake. I took it out. Anyone want it? Louie

Re: K&N filter

Not sure if this vehicle has a mass airflow sensor or not, but if it does, DO NOT install a K&N air filter. The oil on the filter contaminates the sensor and coats it, causing a false reading. Most of the time, it takes quite a bit of time to burn off the excess oil still left in the air intake even after you replace the sensor. They usually aint cheap so before you go buying one, I'd see if your vehicle has a mass airflow sensor.
