[QUOTE="MTF, post: 1460005, member: 499"] I'm not posting to promote oiled air filters. BUT If you research you'll find that most if not all Baja 1000 trophy trucks and non trophy vehicles run a oiled air filter with either or both the foam cover and/or nylon/synthetic sock. There is always two sides to a coin. In real world usage oiled air filters out perform paper in keeping engine safe and maximum flow. Watching a bench test that happens to make the flat oiled air filter perform less than paper is bias. Real world application proves other wise. Paper filters will collapse on its self and if it gets wet your done for. Paper filters are cheap and easier to just remove and throw in another one when it's clogged. Lots of guys carry two to three paper filters when off-roading. In the end it's what ever works for you. All I can say is my intake track has never been dirty, not even a hint of dust. But I maintain it with diligence! My setup is completely open for max air flow. [ATTACH]140034[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
