K&N Panel Engine Air Filter
So I was changing out my engine air filters from cheap old disposable air filters for K&N filters but while i was trying to put the part back into the air box it was quite hard to push the metal connectors back on. I was wondering if anyone else had this same experience or if i should check something out. the regular old ones went back in fine but i dont really know why the new ones were harder to put in. maybe just cause im inexperienced

That is normal, same thing on my car. The rubber around it just a bit thicker so crap does not go around the edges, but more through the filter it self. Also make sure that when you oil them up do not use a lot of oil or it will leak out through the holes of the air filter housing from the bottom and get all over the inner fenders. Don't ask how i know lol.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...258f8ba93.jpeg I'm on my third Infiniti and never had that problem over the past fourteen years and over 300k miles. I change my air filters roughly every 10k miles Then again I only use OEM air filters that I purchase at the dealer and get my 10% discount, sometimes more. Telcoman |

Poor quality control on aftermarket parts most likely made in China?
