I'll run this one until it needs changing again. meanwhile I may order a K&N or another aftermarket dry type of high flow filter and store it until next change. I appreciate all the input. Oh and BTW the new factory one I picked up was sealed in bubble wrap and was indeed pre-oiled.The old element material/paper was green in color and the new one was blue. Not sure if age turned it a green tint or the element material is different. Cheers.

Ether OEM or K&N are fine but the K&N is reusable. Although, there is really no performance benefit. The OEM box is the biggest restriction in the OEM intake; very little room for air to flow into the box.
