Scranton uses K&N Engineering Filters on his Toyota. “K&N makes great filters.
There is no leaking at all, even at 200 mph,” said Scranton. “We cut the oil
filters apart to see what is going on inside the engine. I wish everyone could
see what we see after a race with a K&N Filter. Before we found K&N Air Filters we
used foam filters and they used to break apart and get into our engines. K&N
Filters keep the dirt and debris out of our engines.”
