Yep, the K&N can potentially shorten the length of the engine & it will not provide any MPG gain. OEM is the way to go for maximum filtration & engine life.

"That said, both the cotton gauze type (K&N) and foam filters (Amsoil & Jackson Racing) showed the same levels of filtration. Both performed poorly compared to the fiberous or paper filters (Napa, Baldwin, and Mazda).
