Thanks for the info Alpha.
Would you happen to know what the difference is (if any other than the color) between an AFE oiled air filter an a K&N oiled air filter? Is the the filter media the same? "same shit" just cosmetics, branding and marketing?
Thanks in advance.

They claim to be 99% efficient in collecting dirt and particulate over 5.5 micron. The material they use is a synthetic blend of cotton and cellulose. 90% of other oil filter 'companies' are all coming from one manufacture, which is a company called Claircor (Fram, Bosch, Wix Baldwin, Mobil, etc). It is all the same shit, just labeled differently with paint and company logos. Now when it comes to air filters, they have somewhat of a different approach. Most stock air filters will capture more particles than a K&N. K&N claim to increase horsepower by opening up the media and lowering the retention. This allows more airflow into the engine.
