Im not sure if this is bs information or not but someone once told me that a dirty filter will filter better than a clean one. However, it will affect your performance (power) and gas mileage. Is this true?
of course, let's say you have 100 pores when the filter is new, once you rack up some miles some percentage of the pores will be "filled" up by dirts and craps alike(which is a good thing, a filtering filter ), the only downside is that the engine will have to work harder to draw air into the cylinder.

similar thing happens when someone wash non serviceable paper element filter, all the small pores in the filtering element is clogged and shutted. even tho it looks mega clean outside, its actually adding restriction to air flow.
