I use the K&N filter but will probably just replace it when I think it is to dirty. You have to be careful not to apply to much oil to the cotton element after cleaning, or it will get ingested and damge your O2 sensors (I have first hand experience with this on a different vehicle). It is difficult to tell how much is enough or to much, so I won't take the chance again. BTW, Road Rage recommends a similar type air filter of a different brand name that he says is much better quality and possibly better performance. I don't remember what brand though, but I think it retails for $76.

 

K&N now offers the oil in a spray which makes even re- oiling much easier. The squeeze bottle was not such a good idea. I also let it sit for a day or so to check for over oiling just in case.

This is good news. I really don't like that squeeze bottle. Very messy and hard to control.

This is simply the laws of physics and nature. You can't have both. You pick one or the other and compromise. You can go nuts trying to find the perfect balance. Just decide what is more important and go with it.
If it were a perfect world, we'd all be running gigantic paper type air filters the size of our radiators. Then you might have both.

 

They had a squeeze bottle

I've always used an aerosol can.

 

You've been using the Comptech product .................................. or PAM.

 

LOL.... Actually, it was the K&N Recharge kit from crappy tire...

They must be expelling the old technology stock on you guys.

OT: BTW my nuts are torqued and they stoped clicking
