Thanks Scoddy. My old VW Beetle ('71) had an oil bath for air filtration. It also featured a generator rather than an alternator. I'm sure glad we don't need/use bias-ply tires anymore.

Most modern cars have the fuel filter embedded in the tank as part of the pump assembly. My car has an external canister, just outside the tank, in the right-rear wheel well. Awesome serviceability.

[@MishtahPoog]

Ditto -- I have a slightly older-gen. car with an external fuel filter. I recently researched the newer version of my car and found that it has the embedded fuel filter. I love not having to spend over a hundred dollars on parts and have to remove my back seats in order to change my fuel filter!

My great grandmother's 1957 Chevy had an oil bath air filter. First time I checked it, I thought the engine oil blew threw the carburetor and dissolved the paper filter. I was about 15 y/o at the time😊.

[@christophermarshall5765]

I owned a few older Mercedes Benz cars years ago. They had the oil bath type air filter. Once a year, I drained the oil out of them, washed the filter element, allowed it to dry, added fresh oil to the oil bath, then put the filter back in & locked it down with the clamps. Those cars had well over 400,000 miles on them when I sold them, except for the fin tail one. That car went to the wreckers. I had a piece of steel flick up from a car ahead of me, and it bounced under the car then ripped a big hole in the floor pan.

[@sasquachbigfoot9070]

I had a K&N in my 2001 7.3 for quite awhile and was advised from a diesel mechanic that even the smallest amount of oil from the filter into the turbo could cause damage to the turbo

[@hotrodray6802]

New out of the box they sure put a lot of oil and dirt into the mass air meter.

I Replace a fuel filter on a Isuzu rodeo at 170k mile the filter and in tank filter was clog up badly. I could have barely blow air through it and the vehicle was still running with normal power. So it good to service your vehicle even tho theirs no symptom.

[@samc7071]

K&N do not filter fine particles well. There are various test results online. I’ve witnessed it first hand. They are meant for racing where engines are rebuilt routinely.

[@ronaldwysocki9630]

The problem with K&N filters is the correct balance of filter oil. K&N is great for dusty conditions where oil does a great job of holding back the dust. Too much oil causes the mass sensor problems and not enough oil leads to poor filtration. I think K&N is risky for a daily driver, yet great for a track car or industrial or service engines that are well maintained.

[@Nick41622]

Oil bath filters are considered to be the most effective types of filters. Tractors have a paper filter before the oil bath filter.

I did a mileage test on a dirty filter then again with a new one and the difference was 1 mile per gallon improvement with a new filter, so when someone says your pissing money away with a dirty filter it's not really that bad.

K&N air filters are the biggest waste of money going. I put one in my F150 and I saw absolutely no difference in power or mileage. When I got dirty, I threw it out and I put in a regular paper one and it worked just fine. Save your money.

[@1LElife]

with any mod, you need a tune to see a power increase

[@Evil_Spotify_Metal-and-Rock]

​@1LElife that's true. Just adding extra airflow potential without adding extra fuel via the computer is pointless. The oil soaked filters were only really good in the diesels

[@GymChess]

So when you got dirty, you threw yourself out? Lol

[@MurderMostFowl]

Very first DIY thing I ever tried to do was replace my own filter… I figured that was such a no-brainer thing. I couldn’t possibly mess it up. The good news is that I did not mess it up, but the bad news was that I had apparently gotten it replaced the last time I had my oil changed and didn’t need to do it. ( yes, now these days I change my own oil and filter ) I ended up putting that filter on the shelf and lost it for several years lol

[@davidlaramore1359]

K&N is not for off pavement use. It will not filter dust. Great for street and strip though👍

[@jp1087]

If you properly clean, dry, and oil your K&N filter, you won't have any issue with it. The oil should be allowed to properly dry before you stick it in your car and start driving again. That's why I have two, so I can just swap them out and always have a properly cleaned and dried one. Also, the thumbnail shows Scotty using Lucas oil stabilizer. While Lucas makes good products and states that it will not void a car's warranty; oil companies on the other hand, will not stand behind their oil if you have a claim for an oil issue if you use any additives, because it changes the way they designed the oil to operate. I've never heard of anything coming of this, and I've used the oil stabilizer and the PS/Trans Fluid additive without any issues.

[@TerrenceLCarpenter]

In the newer vehicles, for example, i have a 17 GMC Yukon, when should i change the belt and plugs? i have 106,000 miles, and am trying to keep it running good as long as i can. i hope to get another 100,000 miles on it, without any major repairs.

In Europe most BMWs are at 30.000km (19.000 Miles) and VWs with long life oil a change is only required every 50.000km (31.000 miles). Since the lease company was cheaping out my diesel BMW drove 60.000 km (38.000 miles, so 1 interval was skipped) before changing. Never had to fill oil but I guess sooner or later it will be the problem for the second owner…

Never buy gas when the truck is filling the underground tanks. Dumping fuel in the tank stirs up all the water and sediment on the bottom of the tank. It's designed to not suck ten inches from the bottom because that is where the water is. If they're dumping fuel they're stirring up all the crap in the tank that's going in your car.
