Hi there, going to get a K&N filter for my 06 JCW. Can someone please confirm the part number? Is it RU3130 or 57-0463?
Thanks

I think it's the ru-3130, but I went with the Amsoil eaau3570. Detroit tuned sells it or buy direct from amsoil. It's reusable and you don't have to oil it.

Your welcome. It's a nice filter, I think you'll like it. If you didn't buy from Detroit Tuned, check out step 12 of the installation instructions from Detroit Tuned, https://store-zhkcqkob.mybigcommerce...W%20Filter.pdf
They add foam to the existing plastic arm to help hold things in place. I think this is a good idea to follow. I found a rubber bump-on to use, but any foam tape should work.

After considerable research, I purchased the Amsoil filter. No regrets for the last five years.
