Question Air Filter

Yes I know this question has probably been asked a bajillion times, but the damn search never works for me, I type in "Air Filter" and I get 60 threads about winshield wipers ect. So anyway, I wanted to know whats a good paper Filter to go with, I dont want to go with a Holley or a K & N I dont feel like the hassle of cleaning, Id rather just toss it. So what is a good quality paper filter? Thanx

The oil in the filters are what makes them flow more. Instead of the paper element filtering air through the pores like a strainer, the oil on the filter traps dirt and particles. This allows the filter to be more open. Cleaning the filter is easy. I do mine twice a year (spring and fall) or whenever conditions call for it. Keep a paper element on hand to allow for the filter to dry and the oil to wick.

I'd suggest the Fram filter, it's a good paper filter and you can toss it when it's dirty ( plus there cheap compared to the oiled filters ).
