| A re-usable filter with issues |
Until I received this filter, I was not aware that this is actually a re-usable filter and so it can last over 200,000 miles. However, there are a few important issues. To use this filter, you must follow the directions to wash and lube the filter with a special kit. So, this will add to the overall cost. This is the reason, they sell this so cheap (somewhat similar to printers - where you have to keep on buying expensive inks). The MAJOR ISSUE is however oil contamination of air-flow sensor. The oil from the filter can drip and contaminate the air-flow sensor and screw-up your engine and performance. My friend at the local Toyota dealership (service manager) stated that the damage from this type of filter costed a few of his clients about $ 400+ to replace the sensor. So, this will be the last Airhog I will buy. If you search internet on this topic, you will note that use of this filter is a very contraversial issue. I will not take a chance. |
