RE K&N: More hassle, less effective than paper and NO MPG Gain.

If you have a MAF and over oil the K&N filter, the MAF will need frequent cleaning.
If you under oil the K&N filter, it's next to worthless.
When you clean the filter (likely required more often than K&N suggests), you must let it throughly dry (several hours) before re-oiling and reinstalling.
