great write up peaty, how many miles did you have when you changed the filter? correct me if i'm wrong, change is needed at 30K right?
Would a K&N really offer better gas mileage?swalker said:What, no K&N? I just got my '08 (wife couldn't stand previous front end) and was seriously considering the drop-in. I haven't seen any cone filters yet. Just curious if we'd see any real improvement in gas mileage. Much like you Peaty, my wife isn't into modifying like we are and she's always worried that anything I do will make her car louder. I know the drop-in definitely won't increase noise but would it really make a difference in gas mileage.
Thanks
The money saved in a drop-in wouldn't be realized for 120K miles and isn't worth the time cleaning them.Peaty said:A drop in K&N will only really get you a cleanable filter that in the long run will save you money. Not much else.
Peaty speaks the truth...in my experiences with my Tacoma, they ALSO have the added benefit of allowing too much of the filter oil to flow up inside the intake, coating all the sensors along the way with oil, and tripping ecu codes.Peaty said:A drop in K&N will only really get you a cleanable filter that in the long run will save you money.
