Mark.
Are you referring to the motor oil? Did you run some side by side oil analysis to compare the paper to cotton elements?

My real world experience is that I'm at 230K miles on my daily driver that has had a K&N for 225K of those miles. The main benefit I see is that I haven't had to buy an air filter for this vehicle since 1995. The recharge kits are about $15 and I can get 3 washings/reoilings out of them.

I've also used them on the dirt bikes I've had because the K&N's work much better than the flimsy stock oiled foam filters.

I've been happy with my use of a K&N. If it was a crappy filter I don't think I could've gone as far as I've gone (and still going) on my daily driver.
