Performance panel filter (OIL query)
« on: 19 June 2017, 21:53 »
Long story short, I believe my MAF is playing up (jumpy idle & rough low end revs occasionally & once I unplug  and plug back in and restart car its fine) Ive just bought a 2nd hand replacement MAF & Im currently using a K&N Panel filter, Ive been told these damage/Cause issues with the MAF due to the Oil, What NON-OILED filters are there out there? Ive looked at green filters & Pipercross on demon tweeks but they say the come pre oiled?

This is the only one that doesn't mention oil? (Its specifically says dry foam to protect your airflow meter) \is this correct or just an advertisement ploy?
