Alright, i purchased a K&N filter for my 2005 elantra; a week later my check engine light turns on. My Car begin to drop rpms, while idling, and then shoot up to 2,000, continually. So I took it to the dealer, and I had to get a new MAF sensorbecause the oil from the filter got onto the tiny needle in the sensor. So, just a warning for future buyers of this type of filter. It doesn't happen to all the cars, but to some.
