new air filters

Factory filters are not oiled. They are a red color as they have been that way forever. they are good filters.

Too much oil can interfere with the Mass Air Flow sensors.

The ones I just recived in the mail from Nissan are definitely lightly oiled,maybe just for the nismo, IDK. see the pics im posting here. I am sure the ones I took out are original ,I am surprised the dealership never offered me new one when I did the fuel system cleaning with them back in May of this year.They are from 2010 ,they were intact until i pressed lightly with my fingers and they just disintegrated! They only cost me $50. for the pair shipping included. I bet the at the service dept they are double the price easily! I cant wait to drive to work tonight and feel the difference,I am sure I will notice something.

Imagine if that disintegrated into your engine on a WOT pull... good thing you just replaced it.

I purchased these the other day.

Surprisingly high quality and an ever so slight noise change.

WOW, so you have never changed them in 7 years? No wonder they fell apart.

I only have the car since Febuary 2016, and relied on the service dept to advise me. I thought to check them myself. 54,300 miles on it.
