There is something to be said about that.
ALL perfomance INTAKES use cloth oil (K&N style)
For good reason!

I bought one of these filters but the question is really for all of those who have installed a new filter filter. How do you undo the sensor? I dont want to break it but it was said to unsnap it. I just don't see what I am suppose to hold down to uncouple it. I notice 2 screws. Should I just undo those?

Thanks in advance

That's how I did it, unscrew the torx screws. Just be sure and not lose them and note the orientation of the maf sensor. Avoid touching the surface of the maf sensor too.

Thanks for the reply.. I was doing a google search on this as well, and there was a thread from last fall on it.

Can anyone link me to this info?

I bought a K&N filter and good god the sealing design is scary.

I’m returning that joker & now this thread has got me questioning the mod altogether.

It's been a while, but I think I remember he went on to one of the more exotic brands.
