well just go my K&N filter today put it in drove home and WHAT a difference..... to any l400 or l300 owners i would highly recommend it not only the power but saving on spending $$$$ to buy air filters for at least a million miles...

Ahhh, do you work for K&N??? Just kiddding, that's great you saw such an improvement. Do you think it was because you old filter was so clogged, or is it something special about the K&N filter (other than their cool logo)?

I'm driving an L400 with the cone K&N filter and it's great but not a massive difference compared to a clean/stock one. If you feel an increase at the pedal, something's up with your stock filter.

If you get a 2.5" exhaust, freeflow muffler, solid intercooler/turbo pipes, up the fuel screw = VERY noticeable increase in HP.

No I wish though all the free goodies.... lol I mostly think it's because my old one was plugged but with the solid copper intercooler pipes and the nice shiny filter it made a difference..... jesse I plan on doing the exhaust to either 2.5 or 3 inch I haven't figured that part out yet but soon.....

I installed a K and N in my L300 and love the fact that I never have to buy another filter again and they tend to get dirty real quick...Quite expensive however!!I think mine was around 100 bones!!Paid for all ready..

yea i like the fact that I'll never have to buy another filter again........ plus more economy all good for mother nature

Well, you still need to use the chemical stuff to clean and oil again

I use bio degradable orange de greaser.....

Good idea with the de greaser. Still need to use up the K&N filter cleaner package...

True, but in 160.000 km...New owner will have this fun, not me

Not sure you will get 160,00km between cleanings!

Well, depends what you got and how do you take care of it...

Read somewhere that Pajero with 500.000 km was noticed in Africa

And 300.000+ km not too rare in Japan either...

Long life to your diesel anyway!

You still need to clean your air filter around every 10k km depending where you have driven your car.

Oh, how do you know that? K&N filter manual says clean after 100.000 miles...

Depending on where you drive. If you only go on regular paved roads and never drive in any dusty conditions you can get maybe 20-40k miles out of it, but with all the dusty logging roads you won't make more than 15k mile without loosing airflow. If you like you can even use your stock paper filter for 15k+ miles but you will feel a difference in performance for sure.
