Default K&N air filter for S3 XJ6

Hey Fellas

Does anyone have experience using K&N air filters for a S3 XJ6?

Were there any issues?

Will

I ran one in mine for years. Can't say it helped power or fuel economy. Maybe...maybe a slight power increase at high rpm.

Not worth the money, IMHO...although being able to clean and reuse them is a money saver over the long haul.

Cheers

I have one as well. The local auto parts store showed it as the only replacement they had available (imagine that). I run one in my Chevelle as well and I do like their quality and longevity. If you can get past spending $50 on an air filter, get one.

I also had one in my 82 XJ6. Lifetime of use, go green, save green, and perhaps a tad of welcomed performance! I sold my 82 sadly, and am now in the market for another XJ.

Thanks for the replies. Love the racing site haha

My concern with K&N is whether the oil will damage any of the sensors. I'll give the K&N a go...
