I would replace it with a Motorcraft, Purolator, or Wix OEM paper filter. Since it's been run with the K&N, known for passing dirt and oil, make sure you clean your MAF sensor. Running the OEM paper filter, you won't have to worry with it any more....

K&N filter is to allow more airflow into your engine and increases hp.
You will need to ensure the filter is clean if not you can by a clean up kit sale by K&N The kit contains a degreaser, oil, and complete instructions on how to do it.

The oil actually traps many of the fine particles. My intake tract on my 88 Mustang is still as clean as new and has never soiled the MAF. I installed the K&N at 9000 miles and it now has over 160,000 miles. I've never had to clean the throttlebody or IAC either.

conditions, which indicates that K&N is aware that their regular filter does not filter well.
