We're one mile of gravel road to the blacktop from the house. Installed K&N's in Jeep Liberty diesel and the 2000 Dodge diesel (Edge with Attitude) when bought new. 272,000 on the Dodge, 74,000 on the Jeep. I clean the K&N's about once every 9 months. No dust past the filters. They work for me! But if I was the OP and after reading 10 pages of negative responses I'd be running to NAPA for the paper to.
So you are running oil analyst regularly and have verified that your K&N filters are not letting dust by? That goes for everyone. Show us your oil analyst reports. Or is your finger better than a lab on checking on this?

After running 272,000 miles on one, why would he need an analysis? I have had the tests done on the equipment at work using the OE supplied paper filters and the test can get as picky as you want them. They can pretty much tell you what part of the state they were run in. The job of the oil is to trap these particles. This is what really determines how long you go between oil changes.
