:icon_cheers:Has anyone changed their Air Filter from K & N too Am soil Ea Air Filter and if so what was your experience between the two?

Did you notice any difference with the Amsoil Ea Air Filter over the K & N Air Filter or vice a versa?

I am looking to change from K & N Air Filter too Amsoil Ea Air Filter for the reason that I had to put a NEW AIR SENSOR on my 1999 For Ranger 2.5 4 CYL. , do to the fact that dirt or oil got on it and made it go bad.

As far as performance is, this is what I will have to see which one will gave me the best.

I am hoping that someone has the experience between the two first hand.

Ford would like me to go with the paper air filter. :icon_cheers:

Paper is the way to go. K&N does not filter well, and for the expense a money losing proposition. One test shows the Amsoil is not much better. shady

Anyone know anything about the AFE Air Filter ?

This could be another way to go.

Save your money and your engine, go with the OEM paper filter!! F.Y.I. the air filter for the 2.3L is the same filter for the 3.0L and 4.0L V-6's, so it will
flow way more air than your 2.3L will ever pull!!!!! Larger displacement engines pull more air!

But, if you are determined to waste money on something, you can send it to me, and you will get the same performance improvement as spending it
on aftermarket air filters!!!
