K&N filters
Are the K&N air filters worth it? Tanks

Put a K&N on my 2 year old ford f150. Straight out of the box...assume that K&N oiled it correctly. Did not see any improvement is mpg or in performance. Liked the sound though. Pickup was a daily driver and used to pull a travel trailer.
In about 4000 miles it would hardly run. Had to have it towed to the Ford garage. MASS air flow sensor replaced for $$$$. Found later that I could have cleaned it but didn't know what the problem was. Took the K&N off and tossed it. After that I drove the f150 for 50k miles with no problems.
If you are mechanically inclined you can clean the oil off of the MASS. I didn't find any benefit to using the K&N and standard filters are not that expensive.
