K&N air filters

[Plasnart]

G’day Plassy,
Started running an advised Italian ‘BMC’ filter system (K&N same same ish) a few years ago in the 6.5 ute with 10% ish seemingly good power success in our somewhat dusty hills for performance.
Shiploads easier though just 2 minute swapping an OEM $25 paper filter into the Mrs 4.2TD family wagon whenever the roads get too chalky.
Many many years ago did have a similar oil type air filter on an FJ55 and was laughed at by my Cairns mechanic before heading up the Cape and handed me 3 x paper cannister filters and a sabre saw :-)

I have a 1970 Honda dirt bike that uses an oiled foam air filter and just can't believe the same for the 2001 TD42T, 31 years hence, is still the way to go. But I'm open to hearing from those who know. I get it that K&N filters breathe well and that's great for the race track or drag strip, but for dusty touring??
