the oil in the k&n may clog your intake air sensor. just buy a cheap paper one...http://www.autoparts123.com/ShopByVe...=True&rewrite=

the $6+ are just as good as the $15-$20 at your local chain store!

Depends, how often do you change the filter now? I have one for the Sable, but the wife doesn't drive enough miles to justify the time of cleaning and oiling it every year. It's back to paper now that the filter oil is used up.

I once tried a Fram washable filter. The seams at the end of the pleats started to fail after the first wash. Could have gotten the lemon, but Wal-mart was no longer carrying the line when I returned it. There may be other options out there for washables.

I've been using K&N filters for years and I have never had problems with the sensors

As long as you take the time to oil the filter properly, you shouldn't have a problem.

got the allignment and belt replaced. They said that the c. convertor has failed. They want to put a universal one on, but is that a good idea? or should I get a OEM?

OEM is pricey...ive never had problems with universals
