2023 Kia Sorento 2.5T. Factory original air filter pulled at 25,000mi...replaced with Fram Ultra 12816.
 
2001 Toyota Tundra 4.7L. Pulled 5 year old/unknown mi Toyota filter, replaced with Toyota filter. Cleaned MAF and TB.

Factory airbox. I was those that fell for the KN hype and that's why aftermarket cai's tell you to keep the factory intake.

I'm that guy. Seen rubber seals torn or twisted on rigid panel filters from repeated removals and letting dust in.

2001 BMW E39 540 M-Sport 375,000 miles. I change this Hengst engine air filter every 15k since they are so cheap (around $10). They are rarely very dirty. I think the factory recommended change interval is 30k miles.

Aren’t you worried about changing it so often and actually allowing more dirt to get into the engine? An air filter gets more efficient with more dirt trapped on them, plus every time you open up the air box you run the risk of introducing more dirt into the engine as well. I still haven’t changed the original air filter on my Corvette yet, it’s at just under 107,000 km right now. I’m going to have it changed in the next couple of weeks though.

Nope. I have owned this car basically since new, and this regimen has clearly had no negative effect. 375,000 miles and does not consume any oil of note. Never been rebuilt.

That is the dirty side. Old one still looks good, no tear on the gasket and rubber is still soft. The Denso is a pure paper construction. No rubber gasket and center support.
