Is stock 2024 air filters sufficient ?

[Ryunker]

how did you determine 6K?

I choose to do a full service synthetic oil change every 3k, so every other cabin and air filters. Extremely cheap insurance for the long haul.

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.
