Yes, most can get along with changing the Air Filter only once a year, but if you live in a dusty area, or drive a lot on dirt roads it will get dirty pretty quick. Most of the O'Riley's auto parts stores I have been to usually show a comparison between factory paper filters and K&N cotton filters. They are not foam, I take it you do not have one from reading what I have that you have posted, I have one in my Harley Davidson, Impala SS, C20 truck, Honda Insight, Honda Civic, and VW Touareg. All improved my fuel economy if only a little. I still am usuing the same filters I bought when I bought the vehicles. The Harley I have had since 2000, same air Filter. Honda, since 2004 and same filter. It's alright, do as you want I was just trying to help out. If you do not believe me, go to Shucks/O'Rielies and see if they have the K&N filter display.
If you are looking to save some more money, look into AMS oil products. They claim a once a year or 25,000 mile oil change. Unless extreme like my last location (Alaska) then once every 15000 mils, or which ever comes first. I have been using AMS just as long as the K&N Air Filters as well. The AMS oil makes a big difference when it gets down to -40 and you have a standard transmission. It shifts a lot easier than it did with factory gear lube.
Oh well, I was just trying to help out. I will leave.
