Any info on these? The Escape manual say no oiled air filters.
Are these just a gimmick or decent?

No specific efficiency figures posted, and mentions cotton in the media description which means it's a green K&N.
They mentioned filtering down to 5 microns but that a useless information without efficiency points.

looks like most other oiled cotton gauze filters.
advertise higher flow, and more HP. no mention of filter efficiency.
they flow better, because they don't filter as well.
i'm sure others will go into more detail, but that's the gist.

Like K&N but much higher quality. Green oil instead of red - my K&N has half green oil because I finished off my Green filter oil before starting on a new can of red K&N.
That is what I thought. I will just use OEM.
I'm waiting for a fram 4" inlet cone filter. Orange rubber of course.

It's not a K&N type filter.
Instead of cotton gauze, they use woven cotton fabric, so it won't have the large holes the cotton gauze filters typically have for better flow.

Lol. I'll spray mine with cooking oil, too!
Seriously though, for my Focus ST I just bought Motorcraft. Cheap, works, there is enough surface area that I am not sure they're a factor in air flow.

I have one in my Ram. It is not a gauze filter, it is a woven cotton much like a t-shirt. Much better quality than k&n.
