What's the difference between Simonta cotton filter and stock air filter?
Increase in performance?
Longer change intervals?

Just my opinion.
I always think filtration is better for cotton, while allowing more air to flow thru as well....
change interval is more or less than same... once clogged & have oil based stuffs stuck on filter.... its time to change.....
Performance??? old liao.... engine can breath decently.... enough liao :smile:
-
Allowing more air to flow through results in better combustion but this also leads to the engine oil getting dirty faster, as experienced when I used to use the washable Hurricane stainless steel air filter.

FMz,
clarence is a 'bro'? is he?
well, filtration mean the 'power of filtering'? a good airfilter can filter the dirty stuff much better vs the lousier airfilter?

regards.

Didn't Tan Chong or the external workshop change your air filter during your scheduled servicing?
How many kilometres has your air filter done?
-

FMz, i believe their profit margin is almost 100% for this.

Haha, initially nobody need info abt Air Filter, now many questions surface out liao.
FMz, you are a great contributor :bleh:
I will ask my in law to chk and see what is the cost price for this Part# of AirFilter.

Tan Chong will change for you... if u take up their 40K package (they claim air filter can last 40K)
Outside workshop, like autosaver will leave it for u to decide.... Autosaver will obmit some $$$ from the package price if u decide not to change
31K nia.... but already sibeh jialat.... working in tuas might have contributed to tat as well rah

no rah.... stockist (Fong tat) is selling @ $26.75.... so I dun think the saving of $2+ justify for my pertrol to drive to Serangoon :smile:

Aeh wat's the difference between "micro" and the normal one??? :confused1:
I went for lunch at Alexandra village today.. so there got a couple of uncle shop selling stuff for cars, popped in to one and asked.. the uncle say he dun carry but should be abt 20 dollars.. then he try to promote me K&N.. quoted me 90 something dollars for the drop in replacement..

want to become wholeseller?
then we earn the margin? :)
since tcm is selling at S$29 to S$30 per unit.
we can sell S$25 per unit. 5 units at one go another pricing. more than 20 another pricing... :)

In between every 10K km servicing, does Tan Chong take out your air filter and use a high pressure air jet spray to give it a high pressure clean?
Most other authorised Japanese car distributor workshop do that.

40,000km interval to change air filter seems very prolonged.
I thought usually changed at 20,000km service interval. :confused1:

Precisely.... the SA still claim that it can last til 40K when I took it out myself to show him during the 30K servicing :cool2: :glare:
my last car.... i lagi KS.....
change @ 10~12K interval....
$10/filter also contribute to the higher frequency of change for the last car.
-
It makes economic sense to regularly change your air filter, stretch to 20,000km at most, as a dirty air filter will lead to loss of pick up and power and higher fuel consumption as you need to depress your accelerator more to gain momentum.
-
hmmmm.... bro bro liao.... $20 rah :cool2:
hello fmz
aiya, just an example lah.
if take in bulk, then price can be cheaper. if we buy 1 unit, surely they sell to us at mkt price.
make sense right?

hi bros, just changed my air filter from bolehland @ very cheap$$$ but not original one lah and been informed abt 3~4 row less (compared to stock filter)....any advise on this...eg. will it cause major diff vs original, should not cause any major issue right, other than poor FC, power, etc.. (so far just used for 3 days)? Will try to get stock filter next time....
**by the way, saw the nissan air filter (not sure if it's stock filter) price @$54 at Autobacs, Bkt Batok :mad: :mad:

Hi bro, 1st of all, Thanks....by the way, seem like my cheap cake air filter not working well (can feel the different even compared to my dirty stock filter). Have been then changed back to used stock filter while looking for new one. More than happy to place order if the Micro filter can perform as good or even better performance as compared to stock filter :D :D :D got warranty one or not...just jokings ;D
