Did you get serviceable K&N air filters?

Thanks a lot....now I'm stuck in an endless loop! And on top of that, I have these cheapo chinese TPMS sensors installed that all 4 cost less than 1 OEM/Denso and I keep having TPMS display issues/warnings. Can anybody help resolve these issues, I'm going insane here!

And before you ask....yes, I have read the numerous posts & threads about members using non-OEM/Denso or cheapo TPMS sensors, however, I'm very skeptical of them because I believe there's a conspiracy to try to get me to spend more money on important electronic parts on this car. Thanks for all your help and advice even though I probably won't put it to good use and will continue to use my poor judgement in order to save a few bucks.

Go get better sensors, or just go to Costco and have them do it. It will work after that, you can't be surprised that cheap sensors don't work

It's an 80k car. Put cheap stuff on it that is far below spec and you get what you put in. If you actually want it to work respect it and give it what it needs and stop treating it like a 1999 Camry.

I've had K&N filters since I bought my '08 in '12. I've been using the filters since the mid 90s for motorcycles cars and trucks and have never had a problem. Having said that proper cleaning and oiling are paramount to avoid damage while bringing in more air.

I just got a 2018 ES350 and installed the K&N filter last night. I noticed a bump of a few hp and it pulls a little harder. The oem filter was huge and filthy while the K&N filter is sleek and aerodynamic.
