    Has anyone switched to the K&N Air Filter? Have you noticed an improvement in anyway? Does it actually save money to buy a washable filter?

    What about Spark Plugs? Anyone switch to higher quality plugs and notice a difference?

    1. don't bother with high performance filters, won't do anything
    2. don't bother with high performance spark plugs, best ones are already in the car

    I was reading that the washable filters can save you money in the long run because otherwise you have to replace the filter often? I don't really know much about cars lol

    Not me.

    Have you noticed an improvement in anyway?

    Not applicable.

    Does it actually save money to buy a washable filter?

    I've yet to change the engine air filter, period, on our 2010 with 60,000 km. Not talking about a lot of money. The oilable K&N filters are a hassle, can be problematic. I would just stick with the OEM filter.

    What about Spark Plugs? Anyone switch to higher quality plugs and notice a difference?

    Your car's near new with some of the best, long-life plugs.
