new air filters

After seeing what using an oiled K&N filter did to the throttle body and air box of my motorcycle, I will only use dry filters on my Z. It will gunk up your throttle body with oil over time and you will have to clean it.

That's only if the filter is over-oiled. With the proper amount of oil, I've never seen any gunk on any of the cars I've used a K&N filter. Unfortunately, they all come out of the box with way, way too much oil. I always let it sit out on some paper towels for a day or two to soak up the excess, and I've never had any issues.

I am a Harley mechanic and have only see this once in over my 10yrs and was caused by the owner OVER OILING the filter. Just a little spray of oil on the incoming side of the filter, never any oil on the TB side is all you need. K&N filters comes on brand new CVO models from the factory. If they caused problems the factory would never use them.

Pink not red. A light spray and wait 5-10 minutes and you will see the oil spread out to cover the whole filter.
