KHE Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 The common belief here is that regardless of filter element, dirt still enters the engine, sometimes moreso with the expensive filters than the stock type units. Where does this dirt go you ask? Some of it becomes byproduct, some of it ends up in your air box, and some of it winds up in your oil. But many folks here continue to condone changing the oil at intervals greater than 3/3000! By-products of combustion also end up in the oil as well. If you want more performance from your engine, get more air into it! An engine is a glorified air pump. More air means more fuel, which means more power. But more air means more dirt. Change the oil, something most folks overlook. Find a way to get more cold air into the filter box. Changing elements is not the answer. Case in point. If you turbo your car, add a blower, or nitrous, what have you essentially done? You have given the cylinders a denser charge of air. 3000 mile oil change intervals may be too long in the winter coupled with short trips.....
