Blackwing filter oil
I ordered a blackwing cleaning kit from corvettegarage.com and they sent me one made by S & B. It isnt the one pictured when I ordered. I know you are supposed to use the blackwing oil only. Should I send this back ?

I spoke to a guy at Davenport Motorsports here in Calgary and he says that the K & N cleaning kit is just as good and you can pick it up at any parts store so I think what you got will be just fine.
