I did exactly that. Took out the charcoal filter and dropped in k&n. No difference in performance or milage. I wouldn't do it again. It did come with some sweet stickers. If that's what you after you can have mine
 
Pros..... nothing (using an afe prodry filter may give u the benefit of it being reusable without the maf/oil issues of the k&n.

Cons.... u removed 2 filters that have zero effect on your performance and mileage.
If k&n, u just bought a filter that may or may not foul maf sensors (u have the ppl who say they do and ppl who say they dont).

Id say leave it alone, or if u must tinker, use the afe pro dry.

If this is a 4.0 1grfe, the engine has been dynoed with stock filter, and then with no secondary filter and showed zero gain.

Same truck same day same conditions was also dynoed with absolutely ZERO air filters installled.


Zero changes other than the normal dyno variances that occur on every vehicle even back to back.

Save ur time, drive it.
 
The oil filters look well made. However, the oil on the air filter can screw-up MAF sensors. You have to be very careful cleaning and re-oiling them. Honestly, I'll stick with paper OEM filters
 
Well mjp2 the reason that makes the k&n oil filter better is they're tough they're hard to puncture. But most of all they're easy to remove due to the nut weld at the bottom. Other than that Mobil 1 filter, but you loose the ease of the nut welded to the bottom.

Ok
So someone with a 2nd gen tacoma v6 and tow package (filters up top gaurded by a few heat exchangers, the grill, and a fan ) is paying 3 times the cost for a one time use nut?

Thank you for solidifying oem filters in my case.
 
I got my drop in filter. The k&n website has stated that they did numerous test on many vehicles to see if it damaged mass air flow sensors, seems as if there were no issues. I believe if you over oil the filter then it's on you. You only need a little red slightly pink not maroon. I love my filter.

Your welcome. I love my k&n oil filter. I buy the best because I change my oil twice a year. Every 6k miles.
