hmm interesting opinions in here.
Stay away from K&N? i have one. love it. clean it every oil change and they last for along time.
and how can you tell someone to never use 4wd on pavement without having knowledge as to what TC they have? If you have a 242 with Full-Time then by all means. Use it!
I agree with the exhaust statements, Open it up a bit. 2-2.5" pipe. good cat/good muffler Make sure your Exhaust manifold is solid with no cracks.
If it has OEM original mounts, Replace them.
Flush all your fluids, Check your tire pressure.
good tune-up will go along way.

The problem isn't with the longevity of the filter itself, it is with the amount of dirt that it lets into to the engine. To achieve better airflow, K&N used bigger pores in the filter. They have used oil to catch the dirt particles that pass through these larger pores. All this is fine and dandy if you keep the filter well oiled. If you fail to clean it or oil it properly you create problems for yourself. On the flip-side, at least per Porsche owners, too much oil has adverse effects on the motor internals also. The intake will suck in the excess oil and the dirt that it is holding.
MANY, not all, but many, people do not pay enough attention to their vehicles to maintain the amount of cleanliness and oil that is required to make use of the benefits of the K&N. Every 3K miles may be all that you require to maintain your filter properly, but for people who live in dusty areas, they have to clean and oil it more often. The same holds true for any environment that will allow the oil to dissipate out faster.
