run a K&N air filter dont think they do an oil filter but maybe wrong.
I think it gives more induction roar than the standard filter but in theory you get the K&N benefits? Mine was a blue one!

there was interesting test Pete at BAS did with the defender and used different types of air filters to see which provided the most gain in power, Genuine Land Rover was the pick of the bunch

Its rather simple really.
The only way a filter of a certain size can let more air through is to have bigger holes. Bigger holes mean bigger dirt particles can get through. And more intake roar can get out.
