K&N's flow more air how? The surface area of the pleats is no better than a paper filter so obviously the material flows more air i.e. they have bigger holes. There was an article in Classic Mechanics last year on air filters and they shone a bright light through a K&N and a paper filter. There were very noticeable visible light holes in the K&N, if you can see them then dust and grit can get through.

Mines on its first and now with 86000miles and a K&N in it since its second oil and oil filter change at 4000 miles.

The reason K&N use oil on their filters is to trap the dirt. Well documented fact :lol [/quote]
