You could get a different out come with an oiled filter. You do get some gunk even after you do the CCV mod. I stopped using the oil filters. It's time consuming cleaning them, and after a few dozen cleanings they start to deteriorate. So if I have to replace I'm going with the dry and a pre filter.

The two trucks I have removed dry filters on were both work trucks, very dusty conditions and very hard worked. Intake tracks were dusty like a window sill.

Just keep an eye on it.

I clean my oiled filter about every 30k, replace it when ever it gets a hole or I want too...

Now that was uncalled for. Do you always insult somebody when they disagree? It's my observation, just as much as you have your observation. I agreed to disagree with you, but you don't see me insult you.

I run a dry filter because it works best for me. When i drive on gravel or dirt roads I remove it, smack the dust off, check intake tubes, if clean, put it back together. Most of my driving is on blacktop or pavement. If you drive on alot of gravel or dirt, you may want to do like CSIPSD, the oiled filter will catch the dust better than a dry. As far as a battery tray, I wouldn't unless my factory tray was about gone...IMO
