Oiling the air filter

04-14-2002, 06:37 PM

I have a MAC CAI and was wondering how often you guys/girls reoil the filter? MAC says 50000 miles but by the looks of the stock filter after 10000 miles (when I switched to the MAC)it was pretty dirty.

The book says 50K miles but you can clean it as often as you like! The oiling kit is cheap and depending on the area you live you may need to clean earlier. CLEANER IS BETTER!

It all depends on how bad the air is out there, where ya drive, and how ya drive it too.. 50,000 might mean in clean air, and driving occasionally.. Stuff like that. basically you can use your own discretion.. Probably wouldn't oil it every 50,000.. But yah, like he said, the kits cheap..
