Re: What Air Filter do you use?

Just a small tidbit of an update. I had gone back to using purolator paper filter and notice (after the fact and the arrival of some stalling out issues/maf related) that the premium purolator filter in the gold box has oil on it. Upon perusing the store for another brand i revisted the purolator area and noticed that one of the boxes had oil saturation bleeding through the cardboard box, as the plastic bag the ship in was apparently torn. When i installed the purolator gold weeks before that, i didnt even notice this nor is it stated anywhere on the packaging. But it did deposit a film on my MAF that led to stalling/poor performance. Went to NAPA got the gold on sale for $10 and cleaned the MAF with MAF/sensor cleaner. vroom...

Now to adjust my pesky TPS. first time doing that on any car, but from reading here, one of the best car networks btw, I dont think it will be an issue.
