For the ones less accustomed to car related DIY:
Could be quicker, but still easy enough and shouldn't take longer than ten minutes to do. Only required tool is a 10mm wrench. |

I was told that the oil used on these filters can mess up the Mass Airflow Sensor? Any comments on this?
I had the K&N in my 97 M3 but I don't think it did much! I re-oiled it according K&N specs, but I don't think there was much overall money saved vs buying a new air filter every year or so..... I doubt there is any measurable change in performance. Mike

I always put K&N filters on my cars and never had any issues whatsoever. Every aftermarket induction kit or panel filter works with oil and it is an extremely common mod to make. As for performance gains, this alone does close to nothing but together with a sports cat or a cat less DP it allows for big gains to be made with a remap/piggyback chip tune. |
