Hello, Does Anybody Know Where I Can Purchase A New Air Filter For My Nitro Instead Of At The Dealership? They Want $41.00 For The Stock Filter!!! I Would Like To Purchase Only A Stock Filter At This Time. I Know That K&n Filters Has One And Some Other Company That I Can't Remember Right Now, Has A Lifetime Warranty On Their Air Filter For The Nitro. I Have The 3.7L V-6 Motor.

I Currently Have Around 22,050 Miles On My Nitro And I Live Where There Are Gravel/dirt Roads That I Have To Travel On. Just Wondering About A Plain Ol' Cheap Filter, Maybe Fram Or Stp Or Even Supertech Or Whatever. Thanks For Your Time........

Hello Bwoody,

Sorry That I Missed Out On Buying A K&n Air Filter From You For My Dodge Slt 3.7l V-6.

In The Future, I May Be Interested In Your Stage 1 Chip. Do You Know If It Will Affect My Factory Warranty? Thanks...

i think one is risking sever engine damage useing any air filter that is cloth and mesh soaked in a lite oil.oilbath air cleaners wher obsolite years ago. any use on dirt roads without a paper filter of oem spec is un wise, in my experianc, have bin a meckanic for 35years and experianced many engines dieing young due to micky mouse air cleaners. cliff

i installed a k & n air filter on my nitro and to tell the truth, i don't feel a difference in the ride, the gas mileage, performance or whatever. i may just be one in a billion that the results may never happen. wish that there was some kind of meter or scale that could be put on the nitro to let me know if a difference is really happening or not. like i have said in the past, the flowmaster muffler that i got installed on my nitro is the best thing that has been added so far for the performance. later.
