It appears this is a variation on the K&N oiled cotton air filter. Do the pass more air? Yes. Do they pass more dirt? Yes Its my opinion but I am not a fan of the low restriction low filtration air filters. Before I wised up, I put the K&N on two different automobiles, Nada, nothing, no increase in anything except intake noise.
Have you done the math on the payback? For example, let's say the new filter costs 400. Let's say you drive 10000 miles per year, lets say you get 7.0 miles per gallon, and the filter results in an astonishing gain of 0.5 miles per gallon, and let's say that diesel is 3.00 per gallon. One year of fuel cost before filter change is $4286, one year of fuel cost with the 0.5 mpg gain is $4000. I think those are best case numbers
I can see a 1.0 mpg difference between 63 and 68. You have to be even more sensitive to speed pulling the stacker.
You can maximize your mileage by making sure the valves and injectors on the engine were adjusted after the break in period, and driving in the low to mid 60s.
