Any advantage in K&N filters over stock? Thank you.

I don't think soo..!!,,

just little oil will sneaks to your MAF film and damage it during hi temp.,, that's all..!!!!??!!!!

X2 with Zayed. I run them in my 43 & have had no issues. The car seems to breathe great.

I have ran K+N filters in all my cars and on the Benzes since new, never had any issue so lets not jump to conclusions fellas, They are in my opinion the best, just look at the dirt caught in them, that's proof enough for me.

How you judge we making conclusions..??, i don't see any good advance with oily filters..!

i tried it once in my previous E60, after a while MAF goes away, and i found little oil in the MAF film, also my friend has the same situation in his C43..!!

*do you have good prove that oily filter is more better than OEM/dry..??

@Zayed, no good proof just 120000KM trouble free driving on the E.
Others no issue.
Take a white cloth and wipe the inner air passages "after the filter".

Stick with stock. AMG would not leave easy horsepower on the table.

FWIW, I ran K&Ns in my 210 E55 with zero issues as well.

+1 Use them on both my c55 and e55

Also ran MANN & currently run AFE. No issues with any of them. Can't go wrong with any of those 3 IMO.

I've been running K&N's for about 2 years now, cleaning and oiling with no problems. That said, I wonder what my MAF looks like. My engine feels as powerful as if it were new.

I have AFE for a few years since I bought the Renntech airbox and I have no problems with it. I think if you want to use K&N, just be careful not to over oil the filter.
