Are you sure that's not K&N? Red filter that you can clean and reuse? Ran the numbers looking at the cost of the cleanable K&N against a disposable paper filter and the recommended change interval. I think it turned out to be I will need to put 150,000 miles on the coach before I would see a cost savings of the cleanable filter over disposable. Considering my annual mileage the savings wouldn't be realized until year 23 or so after buying the filter. If I included the cost of the K&N cleaning kit it pushes the time line out even further. Needless to say I'm still using paper.
I have used the filter in my past daily driver with no issues. They work but for basic everyday driving not really worth the cost. Where the filters really come into play is off road recreational vehicles that get a lot of dust and dirt and will go thru filters quickly. Not something the average RV, commuter or grocery getter will experience.
Thank you...yes. K&N...your information is very helpful...this was along my line of thinking...haven't purchased it yet and will not....I'll go with the paper filter...many mixed reviews online about K&N. Thanks for your comment. Finally got the old filter out with "brute force"..lol
