I'm thinkin of gettin a K&N air filter system and was wondering if anyone had some comments about it.

 

They are real nice air filters..

 

Great filter, better than putting a CAI on and much less money, just be sure when you clean it not to over oil it or you can **** up your maf other than that there great

 

Is it even necessary to oil them? Will they just get brittle over time and deteriorate? Is that what the oil is meant for?? I think id skip the oil and just replace it when needed.. ive actually been considering getting one, i am just reluctant because i doubt ill feel an improvement.. Convince me otherwise!

 

The oil id the part that catches the particles, thats what seperated a K&N from a normal paper, the cloth filters need to be oiled

 

So how do you know how much oil is too much/too little?

 

Its pretty easy to figure out when you do it,

the filter needs to be red but not drip. If it drips its over oiled. Some just buy a new one after 50k miles

 

Yea that works or you could twist and tear it and send it in cuz they got a lifetime warrenty and get a new one for free

 

after you oil it .. let it sit for a while (couple hours) until all the excess is dried up
