I like how people dismiss the fact that those of that use them do not have problems, yet they insist that they are no good because a very expensive airflow machine says they are no good! I'm using real world testing as are many of us! I guess we just don't know any better! Sorry, but i'm taking what i know from my own testing (actual use) and it shows it works great with no issues!

Some people just refuse to change or believe real world testing!

And what lab testing are you doing to prove that it is not causing increased engine wear problems? How do you know that your cylinder walls, rings, bearings, cam lobes, engine oiled injection pump etc, are not wearing out faster than an engine with the OEM filter.

You turn the key and it is still starting? Or do you have a documented history of oil samples that started before the use of the K&N filter that shows the silica levels did not increase, and other readings that indicate wear are not elevated. If so please post them.

Or is it that some people in our throw away society just are not as concerned about maintaining things correctly anymore. Let the next guy worry about it. So it burns a little oil! No big deal! I will go buy a new 65K truck!

I don`t buy brand new cars! we had our 97 Voyager for 200k miles with no engine issues (rust). our 95 Explorer was sold at 160k miles, again no issues. had a 97 conv. van with 130k when I traded it for the X. everything I buy is used. never paid any more than 20k for a car. so now tell me how bad the K&N is!

I`m done arguing with people that have never used a product they are slamming!

I have used one in my Dodge like I said until Dodge withdrew their endorsement. And my boat has two Cummins engine with them. Do you take the time to read what others post?
