Why, yes I do. I keep the box for when the K&N needs to be cleaned. There is a 24 hr dry time, so I refit the OEM filter so I can drive. Looks like 33-3131 (PO11424623)

Using those filters that you have to clean and oil are one of the worst things you can do for your vehicle.

If by chance you over oil the filter, you may need to replace a MAP sensor. I have 327,000 miles from 3 vehicles and NO problems

No actually it isn't. It's actually a benefit if you know what you're doing when it comes to cleaning and reoiling.
Not only that but the benefit of a K&N filter is above 5K RPM.

I was trying to stay away from the delership because the are normally more expensive.
they are more expensive, but in a lot of cases they are much much better. I went the fram route in my f350 and had an issue with the check engine light and everything. the mechanic showed me exactly why he recomeds ford aire filteres. he gave me a brand new frm and told me to twist it, it twisted very easy, then I tried a new ford one, it was much more ridgid. what happend with my truck was the extra flex in the aftermarket let it distort and pull into the air box and then it threw a bunch of codes.

Ok, update on the engine air filter situation, I went to Napa to get the filter that was suggested for me on here and when i tried to use it, it was an 1 inch to long so it didn't even fit. I went to return it and the guy from Napa did some research and found that the 2024 model 1.5l and 2.0 l used the same filter but not the 2025. Apparently they used to carry one that was close to the same part number I was given but for some reason they do not carry it anymore. So now my only option is to try and get one from the dealership or go with K & N. He told me they didn't carry the one i needed but can get it. There supplier needs to get it straight from K & N so I'm still waiting about 4 to 6 weeks now just for something every parts store should have in stock.
