Air filter K&N or Fram

buy a nice K&N air filter and replace yourself.

Have a 2025 TPP. Just put in a K&N air filter for about $50. Seems to breathe better and maybe adds a couple HP. I like to think it does lol.

I have the washable K&N air filter in my car. Buy it and the cleaner and never get tricked into a new filter again. Wash it every 6 months (fall and spring for me) and it’s as good as new.

I’ve run K&N on every vehicle I’ve owned for over 20 years. Without issue. If I known I’m going to be off-roading for a weekend, I clean and oil it before and after. If you live in dust all the time then stay paper. If you highway drive 6 days a week and try to get off-road occasionally got K&N

I have used K&N's in a few vehicles over the years - no problem with them for longevity, and no complaints about performance (hp difference is negligible and over the longer term, they don't not appear to have contributed noticeably to any additional engine wear)

I have the K&N air filter in my Badlands. Difference is very minor.

I worked with a testing manager for Wix 10 years ago and I asked him about K&N filters. He said that they are okay brand new and their effectiveness drops after trying to clean and re-oil them. And you are assuming that the person using it is actually clean correctly and not over oiling it.

I had a Jeep with a K&N air filter with the "do not discard- permanent filter" stickers on the air box. I loaned it to a friend for a few months, and to thank me, she took it in to get the oil changed. They told her the air filter was oily and needed replaced, and she told them OK.

I will never again waste money on a stupid K&N.

K&N filters aren't really worth it as the increased air flow isn't going to result in any significant gains since air/fuel ratio is computer controlled anyway. Not to mention you would really need better exhaust and a tune to take full advantage of increased air flow. Also, if improperly oiled, they can cause MAF sensor issues.
