Is stock 2024 air filters sufficient ?

[erocker]

They almost seem need to be changed every 6k miles. They get dirty pretty quickly!

I believe the originals are sufficient. I just love the looks of the K&N filters on my car so I purchased and installed them. Expensive? Yes, for what they are, but a Lifetime warranty. It just looks nice, plus I love the intake sound when I rev the engine. It's not extreme but absolutely noticeable.

I bought the steeda pro flows on sale for $120 with a recharge kit. I didn't think it made sense to spend $60 on filters that lasted me 4k miles before needing to be tossed

I bought aftermarket washable filters, not because they're necessary, rather because I'd rather just wash them every couple thousand miles than to have to keep paying for replacement paper filters.

As a bonus, the aftermarket filters allegedly provide better throttle response at low RPM's due to improved airflow, without compromising filtration.

Mine looked like this at 10k. It's a good idea to change them earlier. Probably depends on where you live.

No, Central Valley in California, but not far off of a coal mine.

Yes. But I find strange and extremely annoying when the Airhead who's changing my oil comes to recommend a new filter. K&Ns supposed to last nearly forever.

Same with my cabin air filter...it's a reusable K&N filter too!

Sheesh. What will they think of next. Maybe after Taco Bell your seat has sensor senses a vibration and a fan turns on extracting the gasses through a pipe with a check valve under the car ?

I hope so, because right not I have heated and cooling seats that blow air up through the seats!

I doubt you can get that. I never had that in any car I've owned. But only the dealership could tell you if it's available.
