A one-time purchase air filter
Hey Guys-Happy Thanksgiving!
Just a product I have been pleased about for years. K+N air filter for our 95 3.8 TS. The cleaning kit works great and they updated the oiling for the filter with a spray can. I got more than a little p.......d years ago,when I went to a reputable oil change place, and found out at a trans shop that our air filter was black. They were too lazy to even look at it. Supposed to be checked. Last time I had my oil changed and air filter serviced. I have been using the K+N filter on my 2000 GTX since new as well. (TIP= never spray 150hp nitrous shot if ignition is not 100%!= broke supercharger belt and started K+N filter on fire with backfire. ;-) cheers KEV

Re: A one-time purchase air filter
I misplaced my K&N for my Van.... Not happy about it either... Thats 2 of them I misplaced... I cleaned it and set it aside to dry to that I could re oil... I have lost track of the filter, and that Cam wants everything it can get...LMAO... So I guess I have to break down and buy a new one...lol
The 95 Bonneville also has a K&N, the 03 Bonneville also has a K&N...lol

Re: A one-time purchase air filter
I used to swear by K&N, I still have a couple of them in some vehicles. But I got somewhat disillusioned with them because the do not actually filter air very well. I tried putting a thin layer of grease on a couple of choke blades after cleaning and re-oiling the filter.
The grease would accumulate a considerable amount of fine dust and dirt over a month or so. This did not happen with a quality paper air filter........ so the K&N was allowing some dirt to pass through into the engine. These days I prefer paper for the daily drivers, but my rarely-driven Supra gets to keep its K&N.
