Since I did a search on K&N, I think I know the answer to question #1.

1. K&N or True Flow? Whats the difference?

2. Where to buy? I see may references to individuals here but can't seem to find them or their sites.

K&N is readily available locally, True Flow would have to be mail ordered.

 

Doesn't matter....don't buy the K&N unless you want to pick up a few spare MAF sensors locally too.

Second that, my K&N threw a CEL and even after cleaning it, it's still on.

 

HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

I had a K&N but it gave me a nice little CEL just about every week for a month and a half and I got tired of cleaning the MAF so I bought a TrueFlow... but hey if you want a K&N cheap...

 

Same thing witht he K&N on my Taco. CEL of death!

Is there some reason you are not also considering an Amsoil Filter? I have had great luck with mine.

 

why ask trueflow hands down i got mine from jason b

Not really, other than the True FLow seems to be the one of choice here and Amsoil tends to get lots of my money anyway. Need to spread the wealth around

There also has been mention of it not fitting correctly. Loose.

 

Fair enough, however reading some of the other threads here, it seems like the problem was more of an issue of not applying the oil correctly.

By the way, K&N brings up nothing in the search. I went searched on "filter" and went through the messages. Many had K&N in the subject, but the search did not pick them up.

 

seems like alot of people like them https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...light=trueflow

 

Try it!....and don't forget a family-pack of MAF sensors to tide you over til your next oil change.

The search function has been toast on this board for a while now, pretty much hit or miss searching acronyms.

 

I got mine from him for $35 shipped!!

 

Geez I have a K&N drop in but why would this cause a CEL? I have K&n filtters on all my other cars for so many years and never had a problem...Breaks my heart.

 

The reason it will throw the CEL is because of oil from the filter coming off and covering the MAF. Trueflow flows better and you really dont have to worry about the oil problems.

 

If you don't have a MAF sensor, you won't have any issue running a K&N filter.
Many people with 2nd gens (uses an AFM) or earlier run them just fine.

 

I see...well my infiniti has a maf its had a K&n for 10 years and my 93 mr2 turbo has a Afm....I gues i'll pat down the 4runners k&n to remove excess oil.
