i actually just bought the bullet and changed mine almost immediately. i got a k&n within the first 100 miles.

i figured it couldn't hurt, and i will never have to replace it, only clean it.

i will take a look around for my owners manuals to see about the oem one, but i would say just check it every other oil change and change it out when it gets dirty.

i've heard that the K&N and other oil based filters have a tendancy to mess up the MAF sensor because of the oils that are sprayed onto the filters?

this doesnt discourage me from getting a K&N but i would just be cautious when oiling it up... dont go crazy with the oil.
