Looking at the responses shows those that have actual experience with the product have no issues with it but those that have never used the product are against it.
Sound familiar ??
I installed a K&N OEM type filter on a '90 chevy 5.7 2500 truck when the truck was new. The truck towed doubles for eight years. Ran the K&N for 235k miles. Zero issues with the 5.7 engine.
Gave the truck to my youngest grandson. He ran the odo up to 255k miles and sold it to a 16 year old kid in the same small town.
Anyways fast forward to present..... the old truck now has 312k miles and no one has ever had the oil pan/valve covers off.
