Dirty Air Filter
Hello,
My air filter keeps getting dirty with a black grit yuckie gunk after 5000 miles. I have cleaned all the intake housing and have no oil leaks. I live in the San Diego CA area and only drive on local freeways 70% of the time. Any ideas of why this might be happening? This started around 50k oil change. I changed it at 45k and at 50k it was dirty so I changed it again and now it looks like every 5k I need to change my filter.

It might be road tar or some of that mexican fuel people around here are using. I need to change my MOUNTING RUBBER-RADIATOR,UPPER or that's what nissan call it so I will clean the crap out of that area and check for any leaks. The air box looks sealed with no cracks.
Thanks
Thanks
