K&N 33-2326 Review by OoBACoO

I hope this is not too nerdy, I put together the analysis below based on my car and usage. I work in finance dept and used to calculating savings based on certain parameter.

Noticed slight improvement in MPG (about 1-2 MPG).
Very easy to install and fit perfectly into canister for OEM air filter.
Great value.
Price that I paid for this K&N is about $5 more than what Lexus dealer want to charge me for their OEM air filter (parts only, excluding labor).

I put in about 20,000 miles/year. With OEM air filter, I averaged 26 MPG = 769 gallon/year.
With K&N air filter, assuming improvement of 1 MPG means I can get 27 MPG = 740 gallon/year.
Savings of 29 gallon/year. My average gasoline price is $3.9/gallon; which translate to savings of $113/year in gasoline.

This is excluding slight improvement in HP and long term savings of not having to pay for $25-30/air filter every 30k miles.

Overall saving assuming keeping the car for 120k miles
1. Savings in gasoline (only start after 30k miles, because the car brand new already come with OEM air filter. The K&N filter is purchased at 30k miles which is first time air filter need to be replaced); 120k-30k= 90k miles driven with K&N. Savings is $113 for every 20k miles, SAVINGS in gasoline = $508

2. Savings in not having to buy OEM air filter. Driving a car for 120k, require 3 OEM air filter (30k, 60k, 90k, don't need to buy anymore at 120k, cause that is the time when car is being sell). Cost of OEM filter = 3 x $30 = $90.
Cost of K&N = $34 (at 30k miles) + $13 filter care kit (so can clean the filter to operate car from 30k to 120k miles) = $47.
Total savings due to filter cost and operating the car up to 120k miles = $90 - $47 = $43

For my analysis, savings is about $508 + $43 = $551

Again, this is only applicable for someone that purchase K&N when the OEM air filter is due for replacement at 30k miles and driving the car up to 120k and selling it.
Of course, the results will be different if MPG is higher, or if someone replaced their air filter every 15k miles as opposed to 30k miles for my case, etc.
This is just to have an idea, how much I can potentially save in the long run.
