Air filter??

Drop in AFE dry filter
VS
TRD drop in filter ( it says it is oiled)

 

Stock

 

x2 stock
Upgrade to a 12 pack instead

 

Go stock. I thought about it as well and it never makes any difference.

 

stay away from oil filters.
in the long run they just fuck with your MAF

stick with stock.

 

TRD.. been running mine for wait for it... almost 3 years now. MAF fine.

 

I have a K&N in the wife's car... bought it after finding out that air filters for her car are ~$20 each time you replace it. So $50 made sense at the time, probably already saved about $100 on airfilters and I swear it gets better gas mileage. But then again I'm not sure I'd do that on my new tacoma and wont know for a few years as I'm not planning on buying a filter anytime soon (warrenty). That being said I think they do work better than paper

 

This thread has promise

 

What screws up Map sensor is over oiling...

 

Exactly, I let mine dry and then re-oil as needed to get it just right as to not over oil. I can only imagine some ppl are putting them in dripping wet because they think it "filters" more smh

Also helps to oil backwards to the natural flow of air pulls the oil in to the filter

 

which KN comes with lol.

I had a lot of issues with mine and I never even recharged them lol.
Couldn't be bothered since I got them at cost from the parts store I just bought new ones each time then started getting MAF issues.

 

I think the new ones do come a bit over oiled.. when I clean mine I don't put on as much as when they come new- i thought I was going to hate it but cleaning really isn't that bad

 

Spray with oil both sides. Set filter down on rag.

Go get a beer. Drink beer. Flip filter over.
Go get another beer. Then go get another beer.

Install. Finish 6 pack and get a friend to drive you to the store for another 6 pack. Problems solved and avoided.

 

I think I cleaned one once lol.

for the truck honestly stock one is good enough for me.
