We are also big into Industrial air a liquid filters , The K&N filter will
flow lot of are with minimal restriction ,so at the drag strip we love
them. However like you found out, the particular matter cannot be stopped
very well with the Viscus Impingment that the oiled cotton tries to do.
That principle of filtration is frowned on by all the diesel manufactures.
The particular matter will wear your engine so that the oil consumption
will increase but you'll like the added economy and power.

What about other filters that are made of "synthetic" materials? We currently have one under the Spectre brand because we had to go with a lower profile housing. We are using this one:

It doesn't say it's straight cotton but says "synthetic". Is this something to be concerned with??
Thanks!
