Default Green air filter??

I know about the holly shot, and the K&N's and from what I have read the holly works better with my ws6 air box, because the K&n does not seal good, Now That I ordered a Holly 2 days ago I read about the green filter?? good- bad- same??

Where have you heard of a green filter? the color is just from the oil that is used. blue for holly and red for k&n. BTW that filter is fine.

Its actually a seperate brand, and the whole filter is green, not just the oil. It rivals the holley filter, pretty close to the same.

my filter didn't come with the oil...can I use k&n oil on the green filter or is there a special green oil on the market?

I would be careful Brutal LS1, I just ordered my holly power shot this week when I placed my order I miss clicked the cleaning kit and oil and marked K&N the guys at thunder racing caught it and gave me a call to comferm what I wanted....
During our conversation I told him I had a can of old oil from my K&N, He said DO NOT use it, they are diffent oils and work diffent on the filters.

IF this is the case Green will be some what the same.

The only reason you need a to oil it is after you've cleaned it.

going from a K&N to a Green is a wise choice
i used the K&N when i had the stock lid, but when i got an SLP lid, the crappy red one wouldnt fit/seal properly
put the Green in, no problems at all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
