Oil ALL brands of short-ram CAI filters??
Hello everyone - I recently purchased a Bomz Racing short-ram off of ebay for like $65. The directions were crap, but with help from this forum and a couple of back-and-forth e-mails, I had a successful install. One thing I took away is that it is actually a lot easier than you think...I was overthinking and that is what caused me problems.Anyway - the question is this...do all cone filters that come with short ram kits need to be oiled just like a K&N needs to? Here is a picture of the filter http://www.bomzracing.com/inde...D=682...should I be oiling this as you would a K&N? I will probably just buy a K&N filter shortly, but would like to know if, for now, this filter that comes with this kit should be oiled....

I would think that would be the case. I would check up on that though. I know my Injen does have to be oiled.

Actually, if it is a reusable filter it has to be oiled. If it is a disposable filter, than no, you don't have to oil it.

Quote, originally posted by Mr. Poopypants »Actually, if it is a reusable filter it has to be oiled. If it is a disposable filter, than no, you don't have to oil it.I believe this is correct. In order for the filter to work properly it needs to be oiled at least thats what a K&N filter needs to work properly so I guess all filters must be same.

Typically, gauze (e.g. K&N) and foam filters need to be oiled. Paper doesn't/shouldn't be.
