Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking for suggestions for a drop in air cleaner that is reusable? I have heard of K&N---also folks saying the oil messes with the MAP. I have also heard of AFE. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

POST 2Original post

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the OEM filter, the after market units add nothing positive, but can casue problems. Stay with stock.................

POST 3Original post

I have a used K&N. If you're interested, PM me.

POST 4Original post

The stock air filter is the best one to use. The K&N filter does a worse job of filtration and the oil can mess up the sensor. The stock airbox is actually a cold air filter.

POST 5Original post

I had a K&N in the air box when I purchased the car. They require "oiling" on one side. The oil can cause problems withs the mass air flow sensor (MAF). The previous owner had problems with the MAF because he oiled both sides. I took it out and replaced it with a dry paper filter (OEM) and have never had any trouble.
