Does the Oversized Ramair Intake require oiling?

(1/1)

SANDEGTI:
So I've been wanting to clean my air intake for a while now, it's way overdue and now it's sunny I'm wanting to do these jobs.

From what I remember the instructions didn't include re-oiling the filter after cleaning? But now I've seen videos on YouTube state that they need re-oiling, while others are saying not to do it at all.

Cheers guys. :drinking:

ZoliWorks:
Depends entirely on the filter. If it's a paper filter, straight up replace it with a new one. If it's more cloth-like, probably wash it and oil it if it had oil included in the package or the manual says so.

Jons1001:
I've got the oversized Ramair and buy the ramair cleaning kit which is a cleaner and oil (i did research if another cleaner would be ok but couldn't get a definitive answer). So you use all the cleaner and then a light misting of oil which means you end up with nearly a full bottle of oil left over, but you can't buy them separately so just end up with loads of oil left over each time, bit of a waste really.

OllieVRS:
Yes. They even sell their own cleaning kit.

GVK:
Don't put too much oil on them, you don't want to saturate the maf sensor.
