Re: How often do you change out your air filter?

The Pug's paper nose is clean after 1004 miles. The Pug went to the sticky K&N nose hairs at that point. It's now at 1300 plus miles. I really feel no need to check the K&N filter until my next oil change at 3K miles. I did spend more time offroad than usual too, with the paper filter. Must be the way I drive. I like to go slow offroad, and enjoy the scenery. I also like to avoid body/suspension damage. The paper filter has been through; A favorite no-name Mojave OHV area, Afton, through the soft sand portion at the start of The Mojave Road (I had to go faster there to plane above the sand, or get stuck), Mule Canyon, Last Chance Cnyn, and Red Rock Cnyn which connected back to Last Chance where I exited.
I have attached a picture of the factory paper filter at 1004 miles. My TRD did not come with the TRD air filter, which my salesman read off to me as he was doing some research before I purchased. I suspect some do in less restrictive areas other than California.
