Any problems with running a k&n air filter with a diesel? I've run them with petrol engines before but not with diesels. Anything to look out for or do in conjunction with them?

Hey mate, you'll have no issues with it if it's maintained correctly.
They are a good filter, I use them on my car.

Get the spray on oil if you can. So mich easier to apply.

Definitely get the spray. Much easier.
I have two as I change them roughly every 5k km.
I can just feel the difference when it's not working the same compared to a refreshed one.
