I keep two sets of K&N's that way I can always drop in the cleaned ones and then take my time to clean/dry/oil the new ones and not have to rush through the process.

I used to use K&Ns in my cars, but after reading some poor test results on particulate efficiency/removal, and dealing with setting up the cleaning pan/solvents/drying time/re-oiling filter/removing excess oil, I went back to the OEM paper filters. Just didn't really notice a difference in performance either. YMMV

^Scaremongering. I noticed a significant difference with K&Ns.

Interesting! They may have been oiled type filters in earlier Nismos? My '16 Nismo definitely has OEM paper filters. I checked them yesterday.

Maybe they are just real dirty & appear to be oiled. The K&N filters have a red colored oil with a wire structure. They work great.
