I replaced the front final drive oil on Friday...old stuff looked like coffee coming out! Can see why the intervals are every 20k
Howdy vish, yea, they are bang on. I can't say I've noticed any performance change, though there must be of sorts, both OE were absolutely filthy, the K and Ns being brand new and a different material surely allows the car to gulp as much as it wants/needs.

Yea, strict adherence to service schedule is crucial on these, I done an interim change a couple of months ago, the car wasn't due an engine oil change for some time, well worth the cost of the parts, simply for piece of mind..

Easiest air filters to change, too. Like 10 mins a side including cleaning out the air boxes etc...

Nice will stick them on the list of things to buy! And completely agree - not a fan of longlife service intervals! If my old mr2 gets fresh oil and a filter every year so should the RS
