Reliable manufacturer and high-quality performance engine air filter that’s reusable.
Honest review of K&N Engine Air Filter: Increase Power & Towing, Washable Replacement Air Filter: Compatible 2007-2021 Ford/Lincoln Truck/SUV (F150, Raptor, Expedition, Navigator, F250, F350, F450, F550, F650) 33-2385 @ $51.99 at time of order.After researching online and reading reviews here, I opted to try this performance engine air filter for my 2016 F150 with the 2.7L EcoBoost engine, and just over 75,000 miles on the engine when I installed this filter. This reportedly enhances horsepower, performance, towing and can help with gas mileage. Who doesn’t want to increase their gas mileage, right? I don’t normally tow anything, but increased abilities are there if needed. This manufacturer boasts about the longevity of these filters, so we shall see. I don’t normally travel through mud or a lot of water or on very dusty roads (which can be a detriment to these or any filter). I plan on normal and average use.Likes: Amazon Prime shipping, returns and refunds. Limited lifetime warranty (this manufacturer has boasted of these filters lasting 1,000,000 miles). These are washable and they sell a kit to clean and reoil them. Up to 5 years or 75,000 miles between required cleaning (I won’t be waiting nearly that long so any updates to this review in the future will not be because I let the thing go dirty for too long). Very reputable company. This filter was a perfect fit and was quite simple to install. So far (about 150 miles into the new filter), I have noticed that my truck seems to accelerate much easier, it breathes easier. Maybe it’s just a placebo effect, but I don’t think so really. I opted to pass an erratically driving motorist and noticed more “umphhh” when accelerating to pass. It’s too early to tell much on the fuel efficiency increase, but I am hopeful. In the box are stickers and a decal that I opted to affix to the air filter cover, and then wrote the date and mileage on it. The decal alerts any shop or oil changing service to not throw your filter away and identifies it as a K&N Reusable filter. I am also saving the environment from added discarded old filters. So far, I have seen a 1-2 MPG increase in fuel efficiency.Dislikes: None so far.Mehs: This engine air filter is expensive at the onset, especially when compared to other engine air filters (that are not performance filters). However, this initial expense should be offset in the long run and should pay for itself by not having to buy replacements every 5-12 thousand miles.5 starsVer másVer menos
