Since you can wash the filter you might be able to say its worth it, but personally I dont think its worth the trouble. At $70 I can buy 3 sets and guaranteed clean paper everytime without washing oiling and waiting for it to dry.
Great price otherwise if u're going for it.

I was just browsing and reading and found this about the rumor that K&N oil can harm the MAF sensor and K&N's pledge.

Fortunately NONE of my cars which have gotten a K&N drop in OR K&N cone filter have had issues, but I have installed two K&N cone filters on 350Zs, and BOTH had oil build up on the MAF.
Well, I'm not engineer, but where in the hell else could have the oil come from?
You will NEVER feel the gains, you will NEVER hear a difference, but it IS a way to temporarily cure the mod bug.

To each there own but I dont know about marketing B.S. when they stand behind there product to pay repair bills if the dealer hassels you. Then go after the dealer.
I'm getting the filters for more of a cost saving over the life of the car than any type of performance gain mod.
