Anyone used a K&N air filter on their LC. Any difference? Not looking for more power, but longer between maintenence and reusability. 8000 mls overland.
K&N Air Filters on an LC
- Thread starter kurienp
- Start date
Believe the service schedule is every 12k miles so standard one should be fine?

I'd stick with OEM filters and would never put a K&N in anything.
nail head etc.
Why not?..... genuine question, not implying anything.

Known quality issues and most tests I have seen show the OEM filter to be the best
A filter that lets in more air by very definition cannot filter as much as one that does not.
It follows that by having less filter effect more dirt, however minuscule, will get into the engine

Not saying this is the case for K & N, but if a filter can manage to effectively present a greater surface area to the airflow than standard, then even with the same filtration effectiveness it should be able to pass a greater volume of air in a given time period.
I had a K&N in a Tiger 955. When I had to remove the air box for a plug change, there were deposits of very fine caked mud in the throttle bodies. OEM filter reinstalled PDQ.
I am using a k&n filter in my opinion no difference at all and use one so I don't need to change it for ages.
Thanks guys. Yes, I think stock filter is the way to go ... though, guglatech has also now thrown it's hat into the ring with a aftermarket filter ... though, it says 'oil' for best results in dirt conditions. Stock it shall be as of now.

Sounds like a very scientific observation.
