  1. One more thing. Don't waste money on the K&N filters. I installed them brand spanking new into my Mustangs until they killed the mass flow sensors. These damn things leak oil that get drawn into and contaminate the induction system. You want to talk about bad fuel economy? I stick with tried and true paper/fiber filters now.

     

    I have not picked up my new Edge yet but I will within the next month.

    I currently have an 03 Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 and have had great success with a K&N filter.

    I installed mine when I had approximately 60,000kms on it.

    Durring this time my milage slowly increased through the first 2o,oookms and then after that I was consistantly getting between 475-525 kms on a tank (90Litres).

    since then I have put on another 70,000kms With the K&N I am now consistantly getting 575-600kms per tank (best was 637kms). My driving habits have not changed, I am still driving the same route to work each day.

    That $60 air filter paid for itself in the first month I used it.

     

    If you had a problem with your Mass Airflow sensor it is probably because you over oiled your filter after cleaning it. Also if you do that, you should notice the vehicle not running properly and that could signal you that you have too much oil and you could clean the sensor.

     

    I'll be installing a K&N on my Edge after the initial break in period.

    Use it properly and you should not have any problems.
