Meyvn:

Don't know. Show us a used oil sample report. The car made it to 197k so obviously you are doing something right.

ive wondered about that crappy hyperfilter that weapon r sent me for awhile. just curious if you have any experience with those aem dryflow filters? they claim to be much improved over the k & n. i guess i could buy one and do two analyses to really find out. but thats about $100....
