Review on πŸ” WIX Filters - 46116 Air Filter Panel, Single Pack by Scott Wallace

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Goodbye K&N - it was fun, but I'm going back to WIX.

After using the K&N filter on my Maxim for many years I have decided to go back to basics with a paper filter. Why? I have replaced 3 mass air flow sensors on my car in the last 3 years and the good old K&N has become too expensive to service. "Yes" I cleaned the sensors and "No" I didn't overfill or use the wrong oil. It only makes sense that when you suck air through an oil-soaked rag, you're always sucking oil in with the air. While this isn't an issue on all cars, it was certainly an issue on my Maxiam and I'm tired of dealing with it. So, back to paper, I've always had great luck with WIX. It fits like a glove and there is no drop in HP or speed between this and my old K&N. Under the hood, it growls a little less, but not by much. Good filter, great company and great quality.

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
