I was just wondering if the Comptech Air filter is shipped with some oil on it?

And how do I re-oil it? Should I use the K&N air filter recharger kit?

Thanks,

 

It comes with a small can of oil adequate for one or two oilings. I think they offer a kit.. I am not sure if the K&N cleaner is safe on the foam. I would like to know since I have some of it already but I'll buy the Comptech stuff eventually.

 

It isn't pre-oiled but does come with a small can of oil. I've used K&N filter oil on my filter and didn't have any problem with it other than the fact that the K&N oil is old and the spray pattern is uneven. Tough to get even distribution.

 

Mike B at Comptech,

Thanks...the air filter should arrive today.

When you guys say it comes with a "can" of oil...how did you apply the oil? Toothbrush (wish me luck)?

I'll try using the K&N oil (aerosol).

Much appreciated,

 

Nevermind...I just got the package.

The oil that is shipped is in an "aerosol" bottle.

The air filter design is good. I love the velocity stack structured adapter. Again, I am pleased with Comptech's design and quality.

nvmys2k,

Has K&N come out with an S2000 application? If not, the Comptech air filter application is 300% better than the K&N "fabrication" application because the Comptech filter was designed for the car.

Stock
The stock intake diameter is about 3 3/8 inches, the inlet is 3 1/4 inches. Stock air filter is paper and disposable.

Comptech
The air filter adaptor inlet diameter is 3 1/4 inches. The air filter adaptor also doubles as a velocity stack (great design). The downside to the Comptech filter is that it is foam, and it is recommended to be cleaned/re-oiled every 7,000-8,000 miles (every other oil change).

K&N
K&N is my favorite air filter company. Yes, the "RE-810" K&N outside diameter is a tad more than 3 1/4 inches, but the INLET is 2 7/8 inches. I have the K&N filter in front of me right now...I didn't like the way it fits. The K&N "fabrication" decreases the intake inlet diameter as compared to stock. Someone needs to design an adapter and find another K&N model other than the "RE-810".

Some very helpful person submitted this great idea to http://www.s2000fans.com about stretching the 2 7/8 inch K&N inlet to 3 inches by the use of a 3 inch cookie cutter (smart guy/girl). But...you are still loosing 1/4 inch as compared to stock.
