Anymore I try to stay out of the filter discussions as much as I can, or to at least stay neutral in them, so I'm not sure I can be too convincing.
But anyways.....
I never had a problem sealing my stock air box with the stock filter. Never any signs of anything getting past it.
I never had a problem sealing my stock airbox with a K&N panel filter. Never any signs of anything getting past it.
I never had a problem sealing the Tymar filter. Obviously, nothing gets past it.
So far I have not had a problem with the big oiler, nor has there been any evidence to suggest anything has gotten past it.
I drive on nasty old Arkansas roads, a fair amount of dirt/gravel roads, and I get it muddy from time to time. Not one of them has conclusively filtered any better than any other. The bottom line is I get the lowest EGT's with the big conical oiler, and that's good enough for me.
