Many of them are lifetime, only paper ones really deteriorate.

Dry filters for MAF cars are my preference. To me, it doesn't make sense to buy an oiled filter when the oil will slowly accumulate on the MAF and lower octane ratings if oiled improperly, and not maintained. The dry filters don't have an opportunity to make that mistake.

If I lived in a dusty part of the country ....... I would opt for a "paper" filter ....... if I lived in a not so dusty climate ...... I reckon an "lightly oiled" filter would be OK.

Makes sense. Is there one you would recommend?

TRD filter. The dealer likes OEM aftermarket parts.

K&N here, but only because I have used so many of them through the years.

I miss having my Weapon R intake, it looked a lot better (and sounded better) than a drop-in and silicone tube. Ah well, it didn't get along with Unichip. That intake there looks pretty awesome

If that was true, Toytoa would have gone with a dry filter on their TRD air filter. But they didn't, they chose an oiled filter.

Then again.... A person has to go full retard to over oil a filter. Or never check a dirty dry filter. Both neglence of filters end up the same result.

Then again how much of a chore is it to clean the MAF? Not much. The only trouble is getting it off the intake.

That was TRD USA's decision. TRD Japan's filter is dry.
