Default air filters
anyone here use the percolator engine air filter and cabin air filters? If so, how are they compared to oem?

Also, how are the K&N reusable ones that cost ~$50?

isnt purolator the cheap pepboys brand? better off getting a K&N filter. Or better yet, get an F sport intake that has a reuseable filter or something like that.

my question was if anyone has used purolator filters and their experiences with them. If I can buy a cheap filter thats decent quality, I don't mind changing it in shorter intervals.

why spend more money for disposable filters (more landfill) while you can buy a washable one?

I would recommend going with a wix filter if you were looking at the purolator one. I think the difference is the K&N uses oil and if you use too much you can damage the MAF, the F Sport is dry and you can just vacuum the dirt out. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
