9 year old air filter?
My roomie purchased an AEM dry flow oil-less air filter and I liked it enough to buy one and this is what I found in my breather. Looks date coded Feb 06 2010. If so it was pretty clean considering the age.

I dont know the month/day this car rolled off the line, still an old filter.. Maybe from its 50k maintenance?
So far we like this aem filter. Washable with dawn and water with no oil is what sold me.

No, you don't understand - the date is date of the manufacture of the filter. It could have sat on a shelf for years and bought and installed 6 months ago.
You cannot assume it has been in since the car was new, nor it being replaced at the 50K maintenance. But who cares, it is being replaced.
That new filter sounds darned good. If Sleeper gives it a thumbs up like that, it should work out great.

BTW, I have been here for a while. Whopper is one that knows his shirt... Please listen.

The AEM filters will outlast your car, just wash then every 50k, more often if very dusty conditions.
