Non-Oil Air Filter

I have searched through here for info on Non-Oil Air Filters and found a few mentioned...

But, I'm lazy and don't want to keep digging!!!

How about some recomendations and experiences with Non-Oil air filters, with the stock air box. I have an Oiled filter that I have been running for about 2 years without an problems. I am just tired of parking my truck while I wait for the filter to dry, so I can re-oil it... or I go buy a regular filter and run it while I wait... Just too much of a hassle and I'm ready for something more simple. That lazy thing again!!!

So... Which one?

I love my Amsoil EA189. I drive in a very dusty area and I always check the post filter tube when doing any service and it is always spotless.

Is that their oil free filter, or standard oiled filter? I was looking at their conical filter that fits in the stock airbox:

I have the Amsoil filter in the stock box. It works great and I have never had any trace of dust past the filter.

Another vote for Amsoil EaA 189.
Best thing I like about it is to clean it is a matter of remove, blow off the dirt and replace and your on the road again.

Cool thanks guys... I think I will be ordering the Amsoil filter today! After going to the web site (a few times) the EA189 seems to be the easiest to clean, shortest down time during cleaning (couple of minutes) and quite possibly th elingest lasting.

Thanks again for your input.

I think that's what I'm going to switch to. Sick of cleaning my S&B and waiting for it to dry. Wonder what I can get for it on ebay?
