| RE: Time to toss em both?? |

From some of the feedback I've seen, I'd toss both of em due to "high silica count" in the oil.
One very informative poster indicated he was running a diesel rig with a K&N. He does periodic oil analysis, and the K&N posted an enviable "high silica count".
How about that? For a questionable smidgen of "higher flow" you get the added benefit of having an extra dose of imbedded silica running over the bearing surfaces and rings. And all that for paying extra money too??
The only place I'd run a Amsoil or K&N filter would be the drag strip, just to eke out that teeeenie weeeenie extra bit of power their marketing departments claim the filter will give.
Someone did an analysis of the filter surface too. A stock "pleated" filter has a HUGE volume of additional filter surface area, waaay beyond (like 10x) over the K&N type surface area.
Like the guy says, your car, your money, you decide. I spent the bucks on two of them, and have the recharge kit, but dangit, I'm tossing them.
