Air Filter

[Redsteve]

Hello to you all,

I have just changed the air filter on my LS400.

The old one didn't look too bad but it has been in a while so I thought I would treat the old girl to a late Christmas present. :hohoho:

Anyhow, the job only took five minutes but the results are amazing.

The trip computer normaly reads about 27 to 29 MPG in the "Current" mode when I am doing 50 MPH, with the new filter in it is now reading 39 to 41 MPG! :D

I know that the trip computer is not that accurate, but if it has increased by up to 12 MPG on the computer then it must have increased by a similar amount in real terms.

At this rate the new filter will have paid for it's self by 6:20 AM tomorrow. ;)

It just goes to show, the filter doesn't have to be that dirty for it to make a big difference.

Redsteve.

Hallo mate,

I hear ya on that one! Just got one the other day from Blueprint, and put it in this morning. It didnt look too bad, a few insects and twigs in the cavities, but nothing that wouldnt have hoovered out.

And like yours, the difference was amazing, the engine seems to have so much more energy than before. Also replaced leads and plugs, and will do the oil tommorow.

Just goes to show you what a difference something as basic as an air filter can make.

Anyone else had the same results?

Regards,

Phil.
