because he's right. I'm from a family of engineers (we don't agree on anything politically), but we all agree when it comes to German cars and German Engineering. Independently (since we'v never agreed in the past) we've all concluded a long time ago that "German Engineering" is a Ridiculous marketing slogan, and like all marketing slogans, a complete lie or hugely overrated and exaggerated. Stuff engineered in Germany is often below average, often over engineered or under engineered, often weird, rigid and poorly thought through and expensive because it's inefficiently produced. Japanese products, on the other hand, are almost perfectly optimized between cost and quality.

The other neglected, is the air intake hose, if it leaks/torn it tends to absorb the hot air from the engine compartment which also has less oxygen/expanded air and leads to reduced mileage/high consumption. Check your air intake hose too. I learned it the hard way.

Hold your K&N up to the light and check out the size of the holes in that media. Not worth the miniscule HP gain at the top end. Your engine spends a heck of a lot more time suffering from the reduced filtration than it does taking advantage of a miniscule HP gain at wide open throttle.

Hi Scotty. Last fall, I bought a 2015 Toyota Corolla Eco plus Le. It had 75,000 miles on it, and it was in great shape. It came with free services for the life of the vehicle at the dealership, so I had the oil changed four times at the dealership and put 20,000 miles on it since I bought it. 3,400 mi into the last oil change, it threw a code, p2647 "A" rocker arm stuck on in Bank One. Since I haven't looked under the hood since I bought it, I decided to check under the hood. The plastic shroud that covers the valve cover had an oil slick on top of it with bugs and dust collecting on it. I decided to pop it off and clean everything up. I checked the air filter and it was as dirty as if it were not changed in 20,000 miles. Upon discovering this I decided to do a full service myself. The the edges of the oil filter cap were rounded and the retainer clip was missing. It was as if some kid didn't have the right tool and strip the oil filter cap and decided to leave it instead of changing it. I used a piece of paper inserted inside the oil filter wrench so that the wrench would grip onto the filter cap. This worked great and the filter came right off, however the filter was the blackest filter I've ever seen. Sure enough, the oil was black and full of sludge. Since the engine oil was so dirty, I decided to change the spark plugs as well. It had 95,000 miles on it anyway and that's when the maintenance schedule said I should change the spark plugs. Two of the plugs were dark and fouled. I hesitantly put mobile one high mileage 0-20 full synthetic oil in it, knowing that the swellers in the new oil would prevent me from using any other oil for the life of the vehicle, but since my engine was dirty I figured it wouldn't hurt to use mobile one full synthetic. I even changed the actuator solenoid that was throwing the code. After changing the oil, the oil filter, the air filter, and the spark plugs, along with the new actuator, the code cleared itself. The engine immediately sounded like it was running more smooth. It hasn't thrown the code since. Needless to say I will never bring it into the dealership for the free maintenance again, I will just do the maintenance myself. Do you have any advice for me pertaining to which other parts I should inspect or change?

@kayaaruaqyukonkingenterpri9992 3 жыл бұрын

On a side note, my auto start isn't working right. It turns over, but is either too rich, or too lean to start. It makes a knocking sound and fails to start. Then I have to wait about five minutes before I try to start it again with the key, and it works. I'm stumped. Winter is coming, and I live in Alaska. Auto start will be a very desired luxury, then.

One code needed (that caused the vehicle to jerk) needed to have another code(P0141) resolved. But they went for the most expensive line item that the 2nd code (ECU replacement and reflash) and then lied and said the code was new. Never went to that shop again.

I have replaced the cabin filter in my Tacoma twice, and both times it was clogged. Need to change that regularly.

Haven't changed the cabin air filter in probably 60k miles and it was quite moldy

I wish the central heat and air systems filters of homes would seal as well as on engine air filters. I've never seen a coil not get clogged because some air/debris gets pulled in from around the filter. Kind of off topic

I had a custom intake i put together and I used some brand i forget now. But it was a cone and had a metal plate on the end. Well the inside part came off and lodged into my 2008 Tiburon v6 intake throttle butterfly valve. This caused it to stick open and my little car kept accelerating till i killed the engine and put it in neutral. I contacted the manufacturer and sent the. The filter. K&N had just aquired them and was a sub company or something so they sent me a brand new K&N filter. No metal cap thing.

Scotty, I have a 2007 F350 DRW truck with the 6.8L engine that runs great and has plenty of life left in it (178k miles). However, when I do a warm start (like stopping and going into a store and coming back out) the truck hesitates for a few seconds when I first take off like like it is not getting enough fuel (or too much). If I let it idle for a few seconds more, it runs just fine when taking off. It is only for a few seconds that it does this. Is this a leaky injector? I have checked the fuel pressure immediately after I shut off the engine and it drops to 0 PSI immediately, but my truck has a returnless fuel system. It is NOT hard to start and fires right up after a crank or two. What do you think this is?

@borisrz3080 3 жыл бұрын

Worked on a 2009 Ford Focus with that dumb “lifetime” air filter; tucked behind the front bumper. Replaced the whole system with a regular intake system that uses the reusable filters and much more easier to replace. PZEV OEM intake to a non PZEV OEM intake system.

@don2deliver 3 жыл бұрын

I've seen them with 190k miles and not even budging the low flow sensor. They do seem to be lifetime. People want to be able to see and change their air filter, but you don't really need to. Ford went back to paper filters because people want to replace their filter. I'd rather have a no change Air filter on a focus with an inline fuel filter than a no change gas filter that sits in the pump like on many cars.

Yeah, ... I was having MPG problems in a V8 Chevy van. Naturally the first thing I checked was the air filter, it look brand new. N0T being able to pin point anything else I took the vehicle to my mechanic. Much to my suprise when I picked the truck up I was shown a huge wad of pine needles that some rodent had deposited inside the tube leading from the air fi.ter to the fresh cool air outside the grill.
