K&N Filter
I've been reading various posts about the K&N filter and have a few questions. While it may slightly increase gas mileage does it:
- Make the car sound louder?
- Void any warranty?
Are there any downsides to using this filter? Any possible damage that can be done to the car?
Thanks in advance.

No adverse effects that I'm aware of. It won't make the car any louder than stock, or void the warranty. I've been using these filters for over 10 years on my vehicles, they work great. The added benefit of a lifetime filter will save you money in the long run as well.

All that said, assuming you don't put a soaking wet one in your car, the K&N is great.

It helps the car breathe a bit better. I have one on my intake, and I love it...
And theres no way that simply an air filter could void Acuras warranty policies.

when you re-oil the filter, do you spray on both sides or just on the bottom one side??
And how much oil is enough??

From my previous experience you need to oil both sides, but this is of course after washing it with the filter cleaner and some tap water. By the time the filter is ready for you to re-oil it, it become pretty apparent that you need to oil it and get the 'gauze' a pretty red color.
