I would be afraid that the oil that is sprayed onto the filter would spray into the throttle body. I've heard of issues with Nissan owners who use oiled filters with air intakes and they had problems. But the issues may have been by the owners over sraying their filters with oil. I don't know. |
I too found that filter but I need to verify the dimensions.
As far as the throttle body is concerned, it is an issue because people do not stop and understand that more is not always better. I have heard people say that since the oil helps filter the dirt, more oil would mean better filtration. This of course spells disaster with MAF system cars as the oil ends up covering the MAF sensor and generates a signal to the ECU telling it that there is not enough air so it cuts back the fuel cause an overly lean condition. Once a K&N is clean, it is almost white. There only needs to be enough oil to turn the color from white to red. By red, I mean just a shade above pink.
