I know some swear by K&N and some swear at them.
When I used to travel by motorcycle, I tried a K&N for awhile. After barely 50K miles I had to rebuild. With the stock paper filters, I have 164K and 112K on two different bikes and they don't need a rebuild.
Maybe I have different expectations. If I had to rebuild in less than 10 years/250K miles on this van I would be upset. The stock paper filter does a good job, lasts a long time (40K and counting) and requires little maintainance - just change it when the filter minder shows some restriction. So, I have no reason to try anything other than the stock filter. But, it wouldn't bother me if you wanted to use a K&N.
