HA! No Dr. Watson, but I do have quite a few questions about installing the Stillen Gen 3. Do I REALLY need to oil the filters? The filters warn me that I need to, but the instructions do not. I am so confused...

No!! The filters come pre-oiled.. and K&N recommends cleaning and re-oiling at 50,000 miles, but most enthusiasts will do it around 35,000..

You just don't want to use the filters without oil.. aka cleaning them and not re-oiling them.

You're good to go out of the box.. they wouldn't be red if they didn't have oil, the filters would be a gray color.

Oil is not required at install or oil would have been provided. Enjoy them Like I'm enjoying mine
