Silica in you engine is like ingesting a neurotoxin. Even a little every day is probably a really bad idea.

I think what he is trying to say is, your not getting more then microscopic amounts of dirt, living in the city, now in the country that is another ball game entirely.
The city you wont see dirt roads, and its highly unlikely you will find dirt just kicked up by the tires. Now of the dust that "could" be in the air a properly oiled K&N will stop enough of it that what ever does go through wont be able to do any damage.
Again that is city life, You want to talk country that is a way different subject.
