I purchased the K&N washable air filter to replace my air filter recently. Right off I noticed it seemed to weight just a little more than the OEM. It also felt more substantial. After a few tanks of gas I can say it works very well on my 2010, 4.6L Toyota Tundra. It was easy to install in place of the OEM Toyota filter. I checked the reviews before purchasing this filter, knowing it would be easy to return it to Amazon.com if problems arose. I experienced no problems. I had read in the reviews about some folks having noise problems associated with installing this filter on the 5.7L engine. Gas mileage on my first trip using this filter was very good. My 32-valve V8, 4.6L, 2-wheel drive Tundra usually gets between 18-MPG and 19.5-Highway MPG on highway driving. I got 22.7 MPG on my first highway trip. That was driving an average of 74 MPH with 3-adults in the truck. The city mileage went from my usual 17-MPG to a respectable 18.6-MPG. About half of my short trips are 25-miles round-trips to lumber centers and such. While the other half of my short trips are of the 2-miles, round-trips to town for groceries and hardware stores. Not a way to get good mileage and I was kind of surprised that it increased to 18.6. My boat towing MPG is very standard and did not increase using the K&N air filter. 13-MPG towing an old deck boat on a combination of hilly country roads and highway towing. I've made a dozen trips towing the same boat and people to the same lake, and mileage both before and after installing the new air filter was same. All and all I am very happy with my K&N air filter. A few guys in my family will be buying K&N filters for their trucks soon.
