has anyone had any problems with their cold air intake? is the oil from your filter getting on your mAS and throwing false codes? or is the oil gumming up your throttle body? and who has the vararam air filter and how do you like it?

jimmy2120

any input would be great. im thinking about getting the vararam set up and i have had a few friends say the oil from my K&N filter is part of whats been making my car mess up, just wanted to see if anyone has had problems with their filters?

when you clean it do you put oil on the filter? i just cleaned my throttle body and that thing was dirty as crap from the oil from the filter

its probably motor oil. a catch will help with that. my GTO eats oil too.

You need to not put too much oil on that filter and let it dry some before you put it in your car again. When you clean it just use a medium dusting.

im runnung the vararam setup on mine and like it. there are a million different opinions on it though it seems. i would agree with the statement that the oil is probably engine oil in the tb and intake. these cars dont have pcv valves on them therefore a catchcan in my opinion is a must.

After buying a new oil type filter or after re-oiling it's a good idea to lay on a towel in the sun and spend a day tanning. If you have an electric oven that can hold low temps you can do the same thing in there, just keep the temp like 150*-175*

i let it dry for as long as the instructions say. i follow the instructions to the letter so after the oil i let it sit for bout 20 or 30 min outside then put it on but i reckon it should stay out drying longer. it wouldnt hurt anything to just not put any oil on it would it? or would it beat the purpose of having the K&N filter?

jimmy2120

that wouldnt mess up the pleats or the wires running through the CAI?
