Green Filter Air Filters

[CTcummins24V]

Anyone use one of these? I'm finally getting a functional company vehicle for jobsites! My 2010 impala is going wayside and I'm getting a 2013 chevy 1500, 5.3 v8. I ordered a drop in replacement air filter to give it a try.

It looks similar to K and N filters. I'd have to wait and see what others are experiencing before buying as the K and N are said to let too much dust thru the filter medium.

Still there is a problem how many times the filter can be washed before breaking down the media. Then if its a oiled media (I didn't check) then they tend to have a shorter filter life in dusty conditions because again of the constant washing and plugging up.

Ya, that whole washing thing is risky business. These are supposed to be better at filtering than K&N, a slightly different material filter media. It's not a turbo, so less suction through the filter, but in general do aftermarket cotton filters dust the engine, more than paper? Yes it's oiled.

 

On all my brothers corvettes and mustangs (years 2001-2013) the air intakes have oiled filters, all aftermarket filters/intakes. They do improve performance, but I'm guessing that comes at the cost of letting more dust in along with more air? I can read both sides all day on forums and product websites, I was just wondering if anyone had any real world experience with them.
