All I can say is that if you want clean air you have a couple of choices: you
can use an oiled batting filter like the k/n or a large oil bath filter.
Paper filters allow particles to penetrate in greater quantity than k/n. Real
studies bear this out. On the other hand, we have subjective opinions.
I encourage everyone to check out the various studies and make up your mind
based on impartial facts.

I don't wish to rebuild my engine as often as those fellows do...
I don't know exactly what the truth is re K&N filters, but I do know that given
the same filter area, a filter that screens out smaller particles will be more
resistant to airflow. So it makes perfect sense for someone who isn't too
concerned about driving more than a couple thousand miles to be more tolerant
of particles entering the engine, if their goal is to move air through as
quickly as possible.
