Does the cosmo CAI need to be oiled like the K&N filter.
I have a cosmo CAI , does the filter have to be spray oiled like the K&N filter . I have ad it on My Vibe awd since last Sept. and I did not oiled it . I took it off today to clean it and it was not very dirty . There is a rel thin film in the intake opening on the main air intake opening but not alot.

Yes again. You should have oiled it when you installed it. You don't drive a lot of dirt roads I hope.

I thought it did but the instructions that came with the CAI did not say to .No there are very few dirt or gravel roads left around here. I as always appreciate the quick responses I get , I am going to oil and reinstall it now . again thank you Sunny for the info.

was it already oiled when you installed it? all my intakes i've ever installed, the filter has come pre-oiled.

One of the reasons they're cheaper. They should be oiled and don't come that way.

A K&N kit is $15.00 and is good for many, many uses. A Cosmo CAI is over $100.00 cheaper than most others, that buys a lot of cleaning kits.
