Hi guys and gals,

Quick question for those of you using K&N drop-in filters. How many miles have you logged with them? My car is new and I'm not sure if I should put them in since they are known to allow more dirt/dust to reach the engine.

I previously owned a Mustang with a super charger and used an oiled cone filter for 70'000 miles without any obvious issues. I always kept the filter clean and oiled properly, and changed the synthetic oil every 3k. The only thing I noticed is my oil would turn dark fairly quickly and don't know if it had anything to do with dirt/dust entering the engine.

This is all just speculation on my part. Thanks...
