I have 260 on mine. Kept a log book of all maintenance ive had since I bought it in 2013. Regular oil changes at 4000. Even though the oil says 10,000. I use Castro edge. Got a KnN air filter that i clean every oil change.
Pros: Kept a log book
I bought the washable k&n one on Amazon because I died a little inside when I saw how much they wanted for a shitty filter
Pros: washable
Cons: expensive shitty filter
Vehicle:
Kia
I use K&N washable filters for both my engine and cabin. Should last the life of the vehicle.
Pros: washable, last the life
Vehicle:
Toyota
I have used them for years and feel the car runs better. I use the K&N cleaning kit and their instructions on YouTube and have never experienced fouled MAF issues.
Pros: car runs better, no MAF issues
I’ve put 125,000 miles on my 350Z and 120,000 miles on my G37S using nothing but $7–$10 Fram air filters—never had a single issue.
Pros: no issues, reliable
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 201000 km
Cleaned out the MAF, installed an air filter, and he topped up the oil. I've noticed that the throttle response was a little lower than before, the boost is noticeably lower, and there is no longer any blow off valve noises. Otherwise car runs fine and shows no signs of struggle.
Pros: car runs fine
Cons: lower throttle response, lower boost
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 4000 km
I swear these FRAM filters have a thicker gasket than others. The OEM filters I could pull out and get back in no problem, once I changed to FRAM, it felt nearly impossible to get flush. I got one side perfect and fought with the other one for too long, ended up giving up on it and left the small gap. The gasket is keeping it airtight, it just doesn't look good.
Pros: airtight gasket
Cons: thicker gasket, difficult to flush
I always say this as well. I have a k&N in my car. Both air filters. I've had the dealer pull it out and tell me it needs replaced then damaging it while putting it back in. So now I make sure they know not to touch it
Pros: k&N air filters
Cons: dealer damaged filter
If you slap a cone air filter on, it will sound better but just replacing a flat filter in the airbox offers no benefit and could potentially let more dirt get in the engine. I wouldn't bother
Pros: more intake sound
Cons: lets more dirt in
Vehicle:
Mazda
