Is the ITG filter a foamed type which is meant to be oiled?  And if it is, do you all actually oil them, or run them dry?

Any links to this ITG filter?

the ITG Pro-Filter filter for the golf is not meant to be oiled!

So how does the MAF cope then.  I've checked the link, and they are basically the same as all foam-type filters, and they do need some kind of oil, and at the bottom of the page, it even shows the replenishment can!

Mine came pre oiled. I just wiped the excess off and fitted it.

TT the Pro-Filters for the GTi DO NOT require re-oiling, and come pre-oiled.

The other types use ITG Dust Retention Coating.

Heres a quote from ITG's FAQ's: -

How often should I clean my filter?
 
This depends on the filter you have purchased and the conditions you are using them.

Pro Filter WB panel filters never required to be cleaned, just regularly wiped with a lint free cloth at service intervals.
