What's the problem with OEM air filters?

your, in choosing your stock air filter, chose a paper filter design. While paper does an adequate job of filtration, it's rigid solid nature renders it susceptible to clogging relatively quickly. While replacing it with another paper your air filter may be cheap, paper filters have to be replaced very often. Tunersdepot cotton drop in filters on the other hand are washable and reusable. If you were to JUST use OEM paper air filters, then over the life of your vehicle you would actually end up spending more than if you bought just one washable Tunersdepot filter and the appropriate amount of Tunersdepot cleaning kits.

Why are Tunersdepot Replacement Air Filters the best filter for my your vehicle?

It's all about the design. Tunersdepot aftermarket replacement air filters use a cotton filtration medium instead of the stock vehicle paper air filter. Cotton by nature is more fibrous than paper. That means instead of catching particles on the surface of the filter like paper does, it can also catch dust and other debris on the fibers before they even reach the surface of the filter. This process is helped by the fact that Tunersdepot uses a specially formulated oil on their cotton to catch and hold debris. As the fibers get dirtier, they actually help filter air even more since their surface area gets bigger, leading to better filtration overall.

Why should I trust Tunersdepot to decide what's best for my vehicle?

Another filter company claims that their filter has filtration levels in the 99th percentile. Does that mean that their filter is better than Tunersdepot?

No! Filtration level is not the end-all deciding feature for filters. There are many features that are important in choosing the right filter for your vehicle. Filtration efficiency is just one of them. There is also air flow while getting dirty, the amount of dirt the filter can hold, and the overall effective longevity of the filter. Basically, what's important is getting the RIGHT amount of clean air into your engine (more air than necessary will not make your car go faster), and how long that filter could do that efficiently. Higher filtration at the expense of air flow is counterproductive, just as higher airflow without filtration is also bad. Tunersdepot makes sure to balance all these factors in order to create the best possible filter for your your vehicle.

Will a Tunersdepot replacement air filter damage my vehicle's mass air sensor?

No! There was a company that used to purchase filters from Tunersdepot for use with their cold air intakes. Later, they tried to cut out Tunersdepot filters and use their own filters instead. It was then that the unfounded rumor began that Tunersdepot Air Filters, which are lightly oiled, could lead to a damaged mass air sensor. The fairy tale claims that oil will migrate from the filter over time and get onto the mass air sensor, damaging it. First off, it has to be remembered that the engine bay of your vehicle is not a pristine surgically clean environment. There is oil, debris, liquids and all kinds of gunk everywhere. You know your engine bay is not an appropriate place to eat your dinner off of. As such, your vehicle's mass air sensor is used to getting small amounts of all this gunk on it all the time. What little oil that might find it's way to your sensor will not be enough to damage it. To prove this, Tunersdepot has created their Tunersdepot Customer Protection Pledge. If your dealer ever claims that your vehicle's mass air flow sensor was damaged by a Tunersdepot air filter being used properly, they will personally take control of the matter and make sure that your dealer honors their warranty. Rest assured, that to date, there has never been an actual documented case of a Tunersdepot Air Filter leading to a damaged mass air sensor.

What comes with a your vehicle Tunersdepot drop-in replacement air filter?

For most applications, you don't need to do anything else outside of taking the filter out of the packaging in order for it to be ready for use. In some cases, a stock filter box might have been designed with fitment issues, in which case, the Tunersdepot filter will come with a little tube of grease to apply to the sides of the filter for a better seal.

How often do you have to clean a Tunersdepot Air Filter? Is it possible to clean my vehicle Tunersdepot Air Filter too much?
