K&N Air Filter , worth putting in old Toyota?

[retiredat44]

K&N Air Filter ($40 + $10 oil kit) , worth putting in old Toyota? Either that or continue to buying paper filters at $8.00 a pop.

[toyomoho]

If an old Toyota the new filter may outlast the car. $50 buyes 6 filters at xxx miles per filter.

I think it is worth it if you are gonna keep the car for a long long time ...

I would not use a K & N filter in any vehicle at any time. In my opinion they are noisy and offer less filtration than is required to protect and engine.

An air filters an air filter, it's just a matter of preference of how often you want to change them. Some people swear by K&N while others don't really like them.

If your buying a filter, look at S&B

S&B doesn't make a drop in filter for a 03-07 Corolla

Turns out the auto parts store I went to does not even list a K&N filter for a 1989 Toyota in their catalog. I think they start in about 1996? I think that is the oldest year in the K&N Air Filter book for Toyota.



But the website partsamerica.com ( Kragen Auto Parts ) lists them for my car at $46.99.

i bought 1 about 8 months ago for $40 shipped for my 93 corolla and i noticed the increase in performance and gas milage,not but alot but noticable at least for me anyways

[w203]

You won't feel a difference in performance due to vehicle being old. I would go with the cheapest option.

[retiredat44]

not looking for performance, it's a freking lawn mower engine.. Corolla is a putt-putt putt... motor..

i have to disagree. there are so many types of air filter nowadays not all of them filter the same as others.

Gas mileage lost may be caused due to more air. Freer flowing from the filter, allows more in. Equals more fuel to compensate. Like ona colddd day how you run rich because of the air being denser.
