There is a posting today under "DOES MY WARRANTY COVER IT" which claims there is a FoMoCo TSA(advisory)telling dealers not to honor warranty work for any MAFS problems if the vehicle is equiped with a K&N filter. Posting says Ford has had many MAFS problems due to K&N oil and Cleaner. Has anyone out there heard anything about this? Also, is it true that Ford is equiping 2000 modle SVO vehicles with K&N filters(blue oil) and selling same at SVO dealerships?

------------------
98 Nascar Edition, Superchip, Airaid, Flowmaster 70 series, bedliner, in bed tool box, Profile bug deflector and window vents, Class III receiver hitch.

 

All 2000 Cobras come with K&N filters. Don't know about TSB.

------------------
2000 F150 SuperCab, Short Bed, 4X4, ORP, 5.4L, Auto Trans, 3.55LS, Captains Chairs with power drivers seat, rear slider, class III towing package, remote entry with alarm and just about everything you can get on this truck. Added a Ford bug deflecter, floor mats, a K&N filter, a Dynamax Race magnum muffler and Superchip.

 

Yes SVO does now sell the blue flavor K&N filters. My former dealer denied me warranty work due to having a K&N filter installed. The service engine light was on due to a bad Ho2 sensor, they saw the K&N filter sticker on the air box pulled the truck out of the service bay and charged my $65.00. No more business from me those #@$%^&&*%@@#$.

I wouldn't get too excited about that post in the other section..the members name is GORP and has not been able to produce anything credible (yet).

MANY members have been using the K&N filters for years without any problems. I have just under a full year myself..and not a single problem.

Sounds like someone trying to stir up some excitement.
