I've never been a proponent (or opponent) of the aftermarket oiled drop in air filters, but I have read lots of posts and articles that take the "don't use" position on them, so I have always been leary about trying one.
But then it had to replace the regular paper element filter that came in it, and I was pretty shocked at how expensive they were locally. I was really not wanting to pay close to $40 for a regular one, just on principle alone. That's when I noticed the K&N oil one above it for only $10 more. I figured what the heck, if I was gonna pay half a C-Note for an air filter, I might as well get one I could do some science with.
And while I didn't actually do the science on this one, I did pay the folks that did it, and I will continue to pay them to do more science each time I change the oil. So we'll see if it continues to perform like an ordinary filter. I'd be just as happy if it did honestly...
