after a bad experience with an over oiled K&N this past week I won't run anything but amsoil oil free filters from now on

 

ive never heard of amsoil where do you get yours?

I think you'd have to severely over-oil a filter, and then maybe run it in excess of the cleaning interval to see any issues.

FWIW, HERE is MAF info on K&N's web site, and A LINK to testing they performed.

Doesn't matter, I tried it every way possible. Dirt/dust and whatnot still got past the K&N. Their no good for these trucks.

 

That makes sense, actually. I seem to recall seeing testing where none of the oiled filters removed as much contamoination as a paper element. I also know that on a basically stock engine, there's usually little to no performance increase.

I've not seen anything, though, identifying what the minimum acceptable "pass-through" is for an automotive filter, and how different types/brands stack up.

plus the ail free filter is easier to clean and more enviromentally friendly

 

Chalk that one up to "user error". I've done that before too.

 

If all you change is the filter and nothing else, then you are going to sacrifice cleaning ability for airflow. The stock paper filter is the best filter for your engine. Any other filter that advertises a performance gain will do so by allowing more air through, and consequently, more dirt.

 

true, but like I said I'm an oil free filter guy from here on out

 

Is this the correct one for a 2008 5.4?
