Air filter on second generation TACO

I have a TRD air filter on my truck. Truck has 5000 miles. Dealer wants $25 to clean and re-oil it. 2 questions:

1. K&N has a filter that requires way less cleaning if 5000 is the right number for the TRD filter. Should I change?

2. I have a K&N cleaning kit that I use for my other cars. Can I use it on the TRD filter? Will it work?

 

I would say dump the K&N filter and go back to the stock paper filter. Better for your truck and no Mass Airflow Sensor problem later. There is no benefit to having that filter over a paper one

 

another vote to go back to the stock paper filter, it does a better job and is less hassle.

Also.... 3rd gen TRD off road rims lookin GOOD!

 

Another vote to go back to oem paper

 

just put a new stock filter in yesterday. $20 at the dealer even cheaper from Amazon. Diy

 

Yes

 

OEM filter, love those 3rd gen wheels

 

if u open your inside of your fender will it help any

 

I was unaware of the potential Mass Airflow Sensor problem with an aftermarket air filter? Is this true?

 

The oil from the filter can foul the MAF
