    Please don’t ruin your car over a $30 part.

    The thing is, it’s only a $10 part at walmart.

      If you fork out a little extra for a K&N filter then you’ll never need a new one again, and your engine will perform a tiny bit better.

        You’ve still got to wash and re-oil it once in a while, which is more trouble than replacing a paper filter.

          Every 50,000 or 100,000 miles depending on the type of filter

          I did it every 20,000 on my previous car just because the smallest oil bottle lasts for more than a couple of applications

      So go to Walmart on your way to the oil change place.

      OR - admit you’re not really going to Walmart and just pay them to get it done.
