your mistake is believing the customer, customers are lying snakes when it comes to getting their cars fixed they will always claim, "i did nothing out of the ordinary...." and finish with, "then all of a sudden...."

I have used oil-gauze filters on so many different cars and bikes that i have owned and have never had a problem. I have only seen a problem on cars with this kind of filter when the person fucked up.

I have also personally experienced the "i don't know it is not driving normally" we popped the air box and pulled the filter and there was a puddle of oil sitting in the bottom of the air box.

I believed the customer because he was about 70 years old, driving an Avalon, believing the salesman that pushed the K&N filter on him because it'd get him about "10 to 20 percent improvement in fuel economy" ...and I've also seen lots of vehicles with blow-by and PCV problems during the last 26 years, this Avalon showed only signs of fresh, clean sludge build-up on the heated wires, no dirty engine oil anywhere in the air intake. And I've also used many K&N and Green filters on my cars over the years, I've just reached a point where I want a filter that does what it was meant to do; filter ...not worried about the HP and fuel savings claims that don't match what's written on the fancy box; they're a nice sound mod and they're re-useable :)
