Thread: Reccomended air filter?

  1. #1

    Default Reccomended air filter?

    Hi all, not sure if this is already covered so forgive me if it is;
    I currently have a K&N panel filter in which has been oiled recently ( 26,000km's )
    My 30,000 service is booked for 11/3/13 and I know they'll clean/replace air filter if I choose

    My questions are these
    Is the oil from the filter bad and or likely to get onto the MAF causing problems?
    Should I change back to the stock standard mazda non oiled filter?
    Or should I keep going with the K&N?

    +1^, I run a K&N panel as well. If it is not over oiled then it should not be a problem. You will see oil deposits below the filter if it is over oiled.

    Thanks guys, checked my airbox and it seems dry to the touch, and the filter is just ever so slightly greasy.. I'd say thats perfect
