I bought a K/N filter and was trying to install it on
97 Mercury Villager (I believe this is same as Quest),
but could not fit it since the rubber rim was too thick
for the air filter housing. I spent ~3 hours and finally
had to put back the old one. If you had the same experience
and any idea, I appreciate it.

TIA,

the first thing you need to do is get your money back for that piece of crap
filter you bought.

Next, you need to buy a factory Nissan/Mercury OEM filter and install it and
all your worries will be over

FYI gang .

I had a 2003 sentra come in today with 43k miles on it , the air flow meter
was trashed by....

You got it, a K&N air filter

So what REALLY caused the failure? CHANGING the filter? OVER OILING of
the K&N??

This just sounds like a coincidence and not a cause.

Interesting thread on the air filters. Does anyone have any comments
regarding the K&N oil filters. I bought a few for my Infiniti QX4 but
have not had a chance to install one.
