Just saved my friend Dave's car from Weber hell by removeing the single two barrel and converting back to fuel injection. I know for ease of cleaning and changing, the paper filter is the obvious choice, but Dave travels 6 miles of very dusty gravel road everyday. Would the oil cleaner be the better deal? Or should I try to find a late model cleaner? Also, what is the fill level of the oil cleaner.
Thanks. |

"K&N will filter the most dirt"? Larger pores, FAR less filter area. How's that gonna filter more dirt? Passes the most air, until it begins to get filled, which is FAR sooner than the paper. They need more frequent cleaning, too. Oil bath is preferred, and you fill it to the lip of the reservoir at the bottom. They need frequent cleaning if you travel on a lot of dusty roads.
