Question Performance AirFilters

I have 2015 5.0 Platinum. I am not a gear head so I don't know much about mechanical issues. Question, will performance air filter really make that much difference on horse power? If so what kind is the best?

Nope, the end. Now, a performance oil filter, on the other hand, is probably good for 20-25 HP.

What type of Performance Oil Filter would you recommend to 2015 F150 5.0?
Thanks...

I have put performance AIR filters on almost every vehicle I have owned. Never a lot of a HP gain but I do see better MPG from (truck, car and motorcycle). I am currently waiting for Airaid to complete the one for my truck 3.5 ecoboost. My GF car Kia optima is getting damn near 4MPG better on average, all I did with that was K&N, got sick of buying new filters. Here in AZ its dusty at times and can really destroy a filter.

Sorry, I was just joking! Neither a replacement air or oil filter is going to get you any appreciable gain at all.

I know you guys are just having fun, but the guy had a legitimate disclaimer in saying he has no mechanical knowledge.
