Anyone use a K&N air filter? I was looking at those but they are around $50. As I understand it you can wash and reuse them basically for the life of the car. Is it worthwhile?

Replying to: dlrev (Jul 12, 2009 7:13 pm) After all, cars still have throttle plates that open and close, so your intake air flow is restricted by your right foot anyway. Now if you want to add a system for COOLER air, or ram air, that might have an effect, depending on how your stock system comes from the factory. Modern cars leave very little on the table in terms of air filter design.

Not my car, but I do take it to the dealer for oil changes the last couple of years. Car runs good and has accumulated only 14,500 in the last 37 mos..Total mileage is 77,150, and I am not a fan of Toys.. How ever recently it has developed a wheel shake when braking, which usually is due to warped rotors, but I noticed the other day at 30 mph I got a steering wheel shake w/o any braking over smooth road.. Car is covered by a certified maintainence policy expiring 7/31/09..So my take is tie rod ends, pitman arm, or idler arm.. Of course they will do every thing under the sun to sell a whole shopping list of goodies and services which the Toy dealers are famous for..The rotors may be warped but at a steady slow speed to find movement in the steering wheel points at steering component issues.. Any like experiences from owners I would appreciate your feedback..Never owned any foreign cars except 2 Porsches, and 41 Big3 cars..I find out looking this thread that Toys require alot of maintance operations, sounds like a waste of time and money. Over 100k miles one should do brakes, tires, and maybe an alignment. Lots of oil changes however this fluid changing of all fluid systems is a total waste., but then again they may not be built that good we are told..My normal annual mileage for some 40 yrs was around 50k, and if the car required the Toy schedule it was never bought..If it was not broken, why bother to spent money to keep the dealer in riches..My only service areas were suspension, brakes and tires, tire balance.. The std Toy strut is shot before 50k, except the SE models..
