Hello all, I've never been much of a car person, but now that i actually have a car I would like to learn.

I have a 2001 Volvo S60, non turbo.

I was thinking about switching to a K&N filter, but I was wondering if the performance/milage boost is worth it.

Any input?

You prob wont notice the performance with just an air filter, especially with a non-turbo. You will prob notice some better gas mileage, but be careful with filters that get oiled. The oil is not good for the MAF and throttle body.

IMO, if you want a performance filter, I would shop around for one that doesnt use oil. And FWIW, I use the filter the dealer gives me.

Been there and done that. There is no differrence. Stick with the stock one.

You're all nuts. I got at least 10hp just from putting the K&N sticker under my hood. Then another 10hp from the filter.

Seriously though, no haven't noticed much of a difference other than the sound.

I agree. Maf is very sensitive to oil and is better to avoid touching it

I would stick with the OEM filter. You can pick one up from Volvo for about 20 bucks. It's made by MANN. However, if you cant find one of those, I believe Mahle makes an OEM filter for the S60 as well.
