    Something interesting about K&N filters

    A good read...
    K&N Mass Air Flow Sensor Test Results

    Oil wasn't found to be a cause of MAF failures, silicone contamination is!

    Thats cool and a first I ever heard of K/N being blamed. I just cleaned my filter and thought I had to much oil on on it because it sputter a little but then I looked at the plugs and they were real bad.

    I still think its the oil... Funny how it happens right after you put too much oil on the filter, and cleaning fixes it.

    I used carb cleaner, but there may be a better product.

    autozombie hires dumbasses most of the time... just spray it off and let it dry... Allot of people who work at auto zone are kids or cant do much better, they only make maybe 10 bux an hour. max. electrode cleaner would work but try to find this. http://www.crcindustries.com/catalog...sers/05110.jpg
