Ive been replacing OEM filters on all my cars for over 15 yrs, its just habitual now. Never had a problem with any of them.

That's good to hear, and I'm glad you checked because I think a bunch of people just throw in a filter thinking that it's going to just do the trick.
The non oiled part is what worries me the most. I know that paper filters aren't oiled but the oiled ideoligy just makes more sense to be able to trap more dirt. I'm not saying that K&N is the best; I'm just saying that I would trust an oiled filter more than a non oiled aftermarket filter.
I posted ithe link n another thread about the helene performance coming out with a filter specificaly for our engines. Check them out:

It might look like a K&N but the filtration is much better.
