After last Saturday's meeting and the comments from the member we met with the truck and the used tires, about a "new Amsoil" filter, I went and took a look at the long test report. Amsoil was in it!
So here is a copy of my comment that was on the Cheers and Gears forum.
This should be added as alink to the test report on the tech page, I think!
 
"One fast reply on washable air filters --- WATCH OUT!
On the re-oiling business, some people get carried away, and put too much oil on the filter. This then travels up the airstream onto the MAF, and coats the sensors, sending false readings to the computer, screws it up, and f----s up the running of the car.

For those of you who may be technically inclined, and want to get at the whole poop on air filters, go to:

This is a 14 page long test report comparing the different filter types under industry standard tests, and gets rid of the advertising B/S, and tells it like it is!

This is not for the guy with the stock paper filter, unless he is planning on changing to some other type. But the info is priceless!

I urge you to go and read it....... at least once! "
