What if my afe filter has no part number how else can I tell if it’s dry or oiled

[@amsdetailing]

This was really helpful. Thanks!

[@BryceBrown1]

Very helpful, thanks! I'm doing mine now. Having a second one is a good idea... Also, remember to oil the smaller, inside bit of the cone filter.

[@damianalmaraz8300]

Can i use k&n red oil on a afe pro 5r

[@a.antoine6939]

Can I just use warm water for the dry filter??

[@getgaben]

After oiling and standing it upright overnight, will the top part of the filter also get seeped through? Or would I have to flip it every few hours or so?

[@glockpoppin]

Can you use your blue oil on a k&n panel filter?

[@doctersound9630]

Yes.

[@ThePasserGenius]

Hi, how many cleaning cycles before it needs to be replaced?
Do we need to apply the oil for the first time out of the box?

[@aFePower1]

The filters come pre-oiled, we recommend cleaning every 20-30k miles! The filters are designed to last the lifetime of your vehicle, but may people prefer having a second filter to switch out during maintenance!

[@williamsavery2056]

Should I oil the cone part at the top?

[@PurpHaze830]

If there is filter media, then yes

[@mdo5280]

I used the cleaner for oiled filters on a pro dry s. Did i damage my pro dry s filter?

[@aFePower1]

Should be fine! The real damage is oiling a dry filter

[@bertrivera7047]

So I bought the afe stage 2 air intake and with in 2 months the oil faded.. I have a stone driveway but not that long..

[@aFePower1]

The color of the oil may fade but rest assured the oil is still doing its job and working properly

[@ericglanfield]

Can I oil a blue filter with gold oil?

[@aFePower1]

Technically yes, the only difference in the oil is the color

[@DudeDabster]

Do you use cold/warm or hot water to rinse?

[@Pathasher]

You can use warm not hot
