Is the K&N filter orangy coloured or white? If it's white, then needs to be oiled. If you add too much oil, you'll screw your MAF sensor, making the engine run like sh*t.GimmieSumMo72 wrote:you know...
i felt the filter when i unpacked it from the box and i didn't feel any oil on it at all!
I have an old K&N recharge kit... so i guess i'll use that!
so after installing the CAI the plastic engine cover doesnt fit? or just unable to mount it?
the NISMO filter is a reddish color, but i didnt feel any oil on it.Npath wrote:Is the K&N filter orangy coloured or white? If it's white, then needs to be oiled. If you add too much oil, you'll screw your MAF sensor, making the engine run like sh*t.GimmieSumMo72 wrote:you know...

The MAF will get covered with oil and wouldn't be able to read or analyze the amount of oxygen going into the engine.
pretty much... except it is not exactly "red". if i recall, it is an orangish-reddish color. most, if not all, rechargeable filters are going to be made from white material, and will take on the color of the oil used to charge them.GimmieSumMo72 wrote:ok... lemme get this straight...
red = oiled
white = not oiled?
sorry to have it dumbed down, i've used high flow filters before but never needed to clean (recharge) them.
