Aftermarket Drop-In Filters.
Good evening,
Has anyone replaced their drop in filters?
If so, what brand?
Curious to if there are any issues with using an oiled filter.

There are no "dry" performance air filters out yet for the 3.0L engine...your choices currently are "oil" coated air filters only, the K&N or the twice as expensive BMC air filter. I've seen both in person, and both are of high quality.

Yes, K&N drop-in air filters. I've used K&N air filters for years on many different vehicles, and I've never had a problem with oil coating any sensors. The only time you really hear about people having issues is when they've cleaned & re-oiled the air filter themselves and used too much oil. Personally I don't even bother re-cleaning my K&N air filters, I just brush off the majority of the dirt when necessary (maybe twice a year), and after a couple years I just replace them with new ones.

Thanks for the reply. I too have used K&N for years with no issues. Previously I saw a post about someone having an issue; think we can blame that on user error.
Thanks again!
