I had an a uptick on the silicon on my last UOA (up about 2-3PPM above the average I had over the last 31K miles) and so I had planned to change at the end of my 15K run of M1 AFE. But, during my annual smog inspection, one of the idiots from the lube side of the business saw fit to open my air filter housing to show me how dirty my filter was (despite the fact that no one asked him to do so). So I am changing it a little earlier because I doubted the seal would be as good as before he removed it. Although the element still appeared to be in great shape, the rubber seal was quite a bit harder than the new one and so the seal was indeed more or less "lost".
At any rate, here are the photos...enjoy!
