K & N drop-in
#5
I have one installed in my 2010 and I put one in my fiances 07 Escape. You definitely wont notice any gains in power. The gains are minimal for the fuel economy, I would say each of our vehicles picked up at most .4 MPG. We definitely did not lose any mileage but the gains were minimal. I purchased it so I dont have to keep purchasing new filters, I just clean these and slap them back in. They have already paid for themselves. I do not drive in harsh conditions such as dirt roads or dusty climates. If you do drive in these environments you may want to consider a different filter.

When I checked my OEM air filter at 8k it was pretty dirty, thats when I changed out to the K&N. I clean and re-oil it every 5k miles, prolly overkill but I have tons of cleaning kits from previous cars. I have never had an issue with the oil getting on the MAF. Use a little common sense and dont over oil it and you will be fine.

Ok, my 06 XLT with the 4.6 has the stock filter. Its slow and uses a lot of gas. My work truck is a 08 SXT with the 4.6 and a K&N fliter. It is slow and uses a lot of gas. It seems to have a little more getup than mine, but it also has 1/3 the miles and is a regular cab where mine is a super cab.
For the cost and potential problems that dont come with a stock filter, I will never get one on my truck.
