What Air Filter do you use...

After having issues with my K&N FIPK I am looking at going back to stock..My supercharger is sucking the oil out of the filter and coating the mass air flow sensor..I would like to know what you are running..I want to get away from the oiled filters and have heard that Amsoil makes a good one..Or should I just use the good old stock Yota filters..

I just use stock. $15 every 20k miles is worth it to me for a brand new fresh filter. Trueflow is good, too, but I'd rather stick to good ol' OEM paper.

You used to much oil if its sucking it out.

I have a KN OEM replacement filter and no issues even after recharge.

Replace the oiled cone filter with a AEM or Amsoil dryflow filter.

I replaced the K&N filter that came with my 4Runner with a Toyota one. Still have the K&N and a recharging kit if anyone is interested.

Well I had gotten talked into a fram and it is still in the rig. But it will not be for long as I hate fram. Not quite sure of what I'm going to use yet at this point.

I'm kind of stuck on NAPPA OIL FILTERS. I wonder is they also have AIR FILTERS

Apparently stock paper filters do very well.
I do think Amsoil's nanofiber filter might be worth a shot though!

Well I didnt think I used to much oil but I guess I could have..I have had the K&N filters on several vehicles and have recharged them a bunch..Never had a problem till I got the S/C..I put the stock air box back on with a new Yota filter and no more MAF code..It seems to perform just as good as with the K&N..Think Ill stick with this set-up for a while and maybe do the deck plate mod later..

Thanks for all your input..

Andrew...

Does NAPPA make and air filter. I use NAPPA GOLD OIL FILTERS and really like them. Just wondering if nappa make a good air filter as well

Also what would be the cost of a true flow, and do you think this is my best bet?
