Scoobyghost Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Cosworth panel filter all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspidey Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 +1 on the cosworth panel filter. I was recommended to get one without oil. Haven't had a problem so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Im running K&N - comes oil free and did not oil it prior to fitting (only ever oiled my MX bike filters) but either K&N or Cosworth will see you right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the scooby world site they have a wide selection . Of dry drop ins e.g hks, piper cross , cosworth and others Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The filter itself certainly did not have the feel of any oil so I believe I was mistaken I ran a K&N on my STI and am now running one on my RX - no issues with oiled up MAF on either but obviously to avoid any risk at all go for one of the other suggested.

Phillip1993 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the k&n filter needs to be oiled to work right I used to have 1 in a different car and I bought the cleaning kit for it and the instructions sed you MUST re oil after cleaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I personally chose the Piper cross as it's non-oil, can be cleaned and has life time warranty :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
