[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1078320, member: 19880"] The '07 I bought second hand (with 12,000 mi) three years ago came with a K&N. I used it for a year and a half and 35,000 miles doing a clean and re-oil twice per year. After doing some reading (here and elsewhere) I decided to replace it with an OEM. Never noticed any oily goo in the airbox downstream from the filter or any dust/dirt either. It has a lot to do with getting the right amount of oil on it. Decided I didn't want to mess with it anymore and didn't want to take any chance on engine wear in case filtration was less effective. No idea whether the K&N is as good or not but don't want to make my FJR a test case. Contrary to K&N claims, power and fuel mileage didn't take a dump when I changed back to OEM. [/QUOTE]
