Second: Rid yourself of the K&N filter!! Marketing of these primitive contraptions, which reverts to mere '50s "technology" will quickly destroy your MAF; and rob your engine of power; which will necessitate MAF cleaning on a regular basis.

If you over oil them as many people do.... I clean my MAF every 10,000 miles so it really doesn't matter, but I don't like the dirt getting into the motor, andit does get into the motor, I just love the Napa Gold air filters (Wix)

The WIX filters are good filters indeed. Thats all I run in the old F150 and a few other vehicles. I have heard that over-oiling the K&Ns can cause problems. I guess Ive just gotten lucky with the amount of oil I've applied. There are always those exceptions to the norm though.
