I'm going to be doing my first air filter change this weekend and wanted some suggestions on what you guys use. This is the first "nice" car that I've had (all my others were hoopties while in high school/college), so I've never bought anything other than the cheapest one in pep boys.

Any advice? I've heard good things about K&N but I think I'd have to order that right?

Thanks.

 

you might get lucky and find a K&N drop in filter at a local parts store... i never got chance to change mine.. when it was needed to be changed i just put a intake on... but im sure its not that hard... try searching it in a DIY section someone might have posted it

You can either use the K&N or the Amsoil Nano drop-in filters. They both worked well for me. I purchased the K&N at a local Kragen store and had to order the Amsoil Nano filter.

 

I hear good things about K&N

 

wish I would have searched for this before trying to put in the air filter yesterday. I got an Amsoil filter and took me about 45 minutes to figure out how to get it in. I eventually did what the DIY suggested, but I probably could have saved myself like 30 min. Oh well, spent some quality time with my G

 

just curious, what took you guys so long to change the filter? took me a minute or less..lol did i forget to do something? uh oh..lol but seriously..

i got my k&n from performance nissan but kragen also carries this. works for me!

but yeh..can someone explain why it took them so long to change the filter?

 

Amsoil or AEM fiber technology filters. I would avoid filters required oil now that it is not necessary to get good airflow.
AEM only makes high flow cone filters now, probably to compete with K&N, etc.

 

K&n drop in for me.!!
