![]() That's some maintenance I highly recommend. It didn't help that the old plugs' gap was WAY off - around. I didn't like the shudder when I was just sitting there with it running, and now it's like new. I had a pretty rough idle considering it's only a '07 and it idled fairly high. NAPA PROSELECT VS GOLD AIR FILTER PLUSOn the plus side, the new plugs and cleaned TB/MAF solved a few small problems. I'd rather replace the filter on schedule than have all that oil getting sucked in there. I don't now why I thought there wouldn't be as it's immediately past the TB, but it was a significant enough amount that I went straight to NAPA once everything was put back together and tossed the K&N and got my NAPA Gold filter back. Sprayed and scrubbed it all out, but before I replaced it I put my fingers up the intake and swiped the walls and there was just as much oil residue in there. Also the cylinder was gunked up pretty good. The butterfly valve was a bit sticky and the hinges had some gunk in there. Yesterday I decided to do my first tune-up on the truck and changed my plugs and pulled the throttle body and cleaned it as well as the MAF. Seemed to get good airflow and no problems to speak of. The good thing was that I didn't ever have to buy new filters obviously, and cleaning and oiling wasn't that big of a pain. I followed the directions on their website to the T cleaning it and oiling it to their specs and liked it pretty well. Never had one though until I bought my 2007 Tacoma early last year and it was already in it from the stealer - so I decided to give it a shot. Well I always read that you shouldn't have any problems with the oiled K&N air filters if you follow the cleaning and oiling directions and didn't over-oil it. ![]()
