Re: [TR] Oil for K & N Air Filters

["Lee Daniels" <lee@automate-it.com>]

The answer to "do they come pre-oiled" is right on the K&N web site "FAQ"
page, question number 10:

10. Do K&N air filters come pre-oiled or must they be oiled before using?

Almost all K&N air filters come pre-oiled and ready to use.  The filter oil we
use is red.  A new oiled filter will appear red-pink in color.  Some crankcase
vent air filters come unoiled, however, they come with a small packet of K&N
filter oil so they can be oiled before use.  There are also a limited number
of filters with specialty uses which are not pre-oiled.  These items will be
clearly marked as unoiled.  Using an unoiled K&N filter will greatly reduce
the filter's efficiency and void our product warranty on filters that come
pre-oiled from the factory.  If you receive a filter that is packaged in its
cellophane wrapper and is unoiled, contact K&N's Customer Support department
at (800) 858-3333.

So the real answer is "Maybe"...
