Installed Halltech stinger - oil question...
The install was pretty easy. Took me about 1 hour, total... Almost took longer to get the sensor out of the air bridge to install in the halltech airbridge then to do the rest of the install.
After install, started, no codes, no problem. Took it for a short drive, no problems.
So, I realized, after it was installed that I did not have the oil to put on the filter.
Question - are we able to ge the oil to use locally (autozone, etc...) or must it be ordered?
Thanks,

Actually, the spray applicator is what gets most owners in trouble with over oiling and contaminating of the MAF.
S&B FILTERS realized that and eliminated the spray applicator and started supplying a small squeeze bottle applicator with the exact measured amount of oil.
HALLTECH, like many after market intake systems, might be using an S&B FILTER as they offer their products in red or blue media and red or blue oil. You probably should contact HALLTECH.
If you prefer to use the spray applicator, oil sparingly onto the clean dry media. K&N cleaning solution and oil will work fine on an S&B FILTER (unless you use red oil on a blue filter media).

If you bought the K&N cleaning and oiling kit, you can use it on an S&B FILTER, but red oil on blue filter media might change the color of the media. They're both cotton gauze filter media.
Maybe the white area is where no oil wicked into?
From looking further into the HALLTECH website, I do believe they use S&B FILTERS in their systems.

Well, Boy is my face red.. (well, blue, actually).. It's blue. It is not blue and white. I went out to take a picture of it and it's blue - entirely. I wonder now, why I thought it was blue and white.
Anyway, it's oiled and good to go till the first cleaning is required!
Thanks for all of the responses!
