Servicing a K&N filter takes me about 10 minutes once every 12-18 months or so- hardly an inconvenience in the realm of automobile service. If you're worried about the micron-sized particles that might get through a K&N filter and potentially cause cause varnish/deposits in your intake system over time, then run a can or two of sea foam through it every year. In my own personal experience, I've logged hundreds of thousands of miles on K&N filters and had never had a problem with performance, longevity, or intake deposits. In that same time, I've saved hundreds of dollars and kept dozens of air filters out of landfills.
