Oh man here we go again

An intake can increase your fuel economy.

I've ran K&N filters in aviation and my own DD(which is also tracked). My engine is very healthy. Compression/leak down confirmed, with UOAs as well. 70K miles and regularly taken to 8600 RPM and only 1% loss across all cylinders. Sometimes the filters do come over oiled. It's on you the owner to look them over and decide. Along with my gain in power I also gained 7mpg with the accompanied tune.

Even is the dust laden fields of Iraq the filter was more than adequate. Same filter media as what's in my vehicle as well.

I have a right to my opinion just like the K&N fanboys do. I still haven't read a link that shows where a K&N filter does a better job of filtering contaminates than the stock filter does as claimed previously by a vendor that sells them.

So the manufacturer doesn't oil the filters correctly? Do they under oil as well? If they can't get it right, I doubt most consumers could.

Are you here to troll, or is today a cranky day?

There's not a science to properly oiling a filter. It comes with experience and you can kinda judge based on element color. An easy way to check is to pinch the filter element with a paper towel and see how much comes off. No one is holding a gun to your head and saying you have to buy "X" products. If you don't like the products our vendors sell then look else where or create your own filter element and sell it, but don't get snippy in an otherwise civil thread that's going well.

That would make me snippy as well.
