Me? I bought my truck at 33K i think...I'm at 77K and just replaced it.



Apparently I drove through a coal mine a few too many times.

 

lol frams suck too. i change mine after every winter

 

Well I'm hoping to get a K&N eventually. I'd like the "never have to change, just clean" part.

 

Yah I didn't purchase that fram. It doesn't really matter to me though, i don't care which air filter i get

 

Damn thats dirty LOL.

Everyone says Fram sucks...but it gets the job done and gets it done cheap.

I typically replace mine once or twice a year depending on how dirty it gets.

 

damn I havent replaced mine in like 2 and a half years...

 

Never

 

I can just feel the grime on that thing by looking at that picture.

 

I cleaned it once I think.

 

I change mine when it looks dirty.
I also don't really care what brand it is. They're only like $15 bucks.

 

i used to have a k&n one. it stayed pretty clean though

i end up buying the 10 dollar fram one and change it like every other oil change since its only 10 bucks.

 

Ali agree with others, either every other oil change or when it looks dirty. I'm actually due now. I have to an oil change and I'll change that too.

hijack/ when do I change the plugs? /end hijack.

 

I usually go about once a year.

I changed the Mazda at 1.5 years old... it wasn't dirty just felt better changing it! It's only been off the pavement twice so it's not in very dusty conditions!

 

I think your supposed to do it at like 80k-100k miles.

 

Changed mine out at 30K miles and just swapped it out tonight for a K&N drop in which I plan to clean / refresh every 2nd oil change but that could turn into every oil change as it's easy and cheap to refresh.

 

I got a K&N around 1998 and haven't changed it since, only cleaned it 3 times too... it wasn't even dirty but I didn't think it would hurt anything to clean & oil it.

 

Damn, I bet you gained a lot of power back after changing that. Me I usually will change it every oil change to every other oil change. But I usually only change my oil every 6-8 months.

 

Damn man 40k miles on one filter thats crazy. Bet you get better gas milage.

 

never i use the compressor to blow it out

 

k+n cone. same one that came with the thunderbolt package from the factory in 2002. sooo never.
I did wash it when I got the truck at 80k. and again at 120.

 

Holy mother of God...Looks like you dropped your filter in a pit of tar, removed it and dropped it again... Anyway, I have a K&N air filter that I never replace (ie. million mile warranty), I just re-oil it every 25k miles to be safe...
