No - a mechanic buddy of mine has personally rebuilt 2 Cummins engine with a K&N on it.

Whats the big deal about a K&N?? Is it the nut on the bottom or what?

I didnt know that AFE is in the oil filter game. Interesting that Air Flow Engineering makes oil filters.

i noticed my oil pressure guage needle doesnt move till almost 5 seconds after i start it on a cold start.i am in FL and it is summer here and it doesnt get below 75 here for 6 months out of the year.i am using a mopar filter.anybody else see this on cold starts?i am considering a steel mesh re usable filter but it is about 300$pure power is the brand,anybody use one of these,they claim filtration down to 5 microns
