And if they're the greatest, why not install them in every vehicle? Why in maybe less than .005% of the Toyotas being sold?
They are only known for not filtering dust as well as paper...BY YOU!!! So why would Toyota listen to your claims....you work for Toyota and holding out on everyone?? I need this part, 55606-52020, and was wondering if you can take it out of the warehouse for me. I'll give you a $1 for shipping!

Liar. Try following thread better next time.
Scratch that...be sure to keep ignoring the input of what others are saying; a lot of it is stuff you don't want to read.

Oh, so Toyota is installing K&N filters on every vehicle, or probably way less than 1% of the new vehicles being sold...thought so.

Show me the post where I said they put them in every vehicle?? Thats right, theres not one. One of the reasons they don't is because of cost. They know a Hybrid setup is the best way to go right now. Why don't they install them in evry vehicle? Cost! You should know that though since you work for them.

No, silly, my quote was because you said K&N was so great that Toyota used it on a dealer installed package, a long time ago...so I said what, they love them so much they now install K&N on every new Toyota being sold...OR do they actually install K&N filters on WAY less than 1% of new Toyotas being sold. You said it was because of costs. Really? That's the only reason? You made that up, OR you've got a link that shows Toyota's statement on K&N filters for their new vehicles? :)

You posted that after I had already said that they do not install them on very many Vehicles So I already beat you to the your point. I am aware that it is probably less than 1%. Also if you notice my post, I said, "ONE of the reasons....." I aware that there is other reasons. Another reason is because they make more money if they put in a throw away filter in. Some owners, not all, don't know what % (so don't say I said all owners), will go to the dealer for service and the dealer will make money from new filters. So remember, I said one reason.

p.s. It wasn't a dealer installed package.
