I would assume that (even in a court of law) the intake air filter specification should be confined to something technical related to engine performance....such as Mass Air Flow or Minimum Particle Size filtered, etc. Not the material, or the color of a fluid, or something else irrelevant.

Intake filter technology is more advanced than the $2.50 filters they sell for $12 or more at the OEMs. K&Ns are engineered well and are not that difficult to maintain....but they are not for everyone.
