Is it worth it to pay double the price for performace air filter? I understand that they are usable and such, but is it worth the money or should I just stick with the basic air filter?


Also, Mobil 1 OW40 Synthetic good choice for a 2000 A6 2.7t?

I had a K+N and its not worth it to clean and oil it.

The K&N Lube oil in the air filter is not.



it can get into the system (MAF) and "kill" it

Oil = good...........air filter = waste of money

of restriction in flow. Therefore if you have a filter which flows more air for the same given surface area, it will not filter as well - your choice.

This is ignoring the fact or fiction behind the possible problems caused to the MAF sensor which is not designed to be dombarded with micro-droplets of oil from time to time - it is designed to work in clean, dry air, which has passed through a paper filter - again, your choice.

The airbox/air filter is not a point of restriction on the 2.7t. Save your money... just use a regular filter.

M1. Good choice.

STFA for MAF.

They tend to screw up the MAF sensors because of the oil on the filter.
