Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I use the K&N filter cleaning kit, let it completely dry then spray with the oil, outside of filter only.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm a bit hesitant to use the oil impregnated type of filter in my Evoms intake because of the potential problems the oil causes. I've also seen first hand how the oil migrates up the intake path on another car. I had heard there are a few high quality paper cone filters out there. Can anyone make some recommendations? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

The only problems I have ever heard of exist when you apply too much oil to the filter after cleaning. Or just clean your MAF periodically.

POST 3Original post

Just wipe down the filter with some newspaper before you install it and you should be OK.

POST 4Original post

I have 2 filters for my EVOMs, bought an extra last time I was in Az. I use the K&N filter cleaning kit, let it completely dry then spray with the oil, outside of filter only. Then i wrap in kitchen towel and store for at least a couple of (warm) days. I change to a clean filter roughly every 5000miles or when it looks dirt enough. If you clean and oil the filter at the same time you should never have a problem when it comes to fitting the clean one. Now getting the cone in and out of the EVOMS housing, that's another story, tough b!tching job!

POST 5Original post

Use a AEM dryflow filter. No oil. I have had one for about a year. It's washable too.
