How do you figure?

Paper filters go 50,000m easy, in good driving environments even more. $35/$7=5; 5 x 50,000m = 250,000miles before k&n "saves" you money, if not longer. Don't forget the cost of the cleaning and reoiling kits! Oh, and the MAF cleaners you need to buy and use after the k&n gooks it up!
