Questions about aFe Cold Air Intake

mesropb23 · 11-26-2008, 09:18 PM

Do you guys go with the oiled or oil-free aFe cold air intake? What are the differences?

I would do the oiled to maximize the performance advantage. The oil free will be slightly easier to maintain as you do not have to reoil it but it is more restrictive and provides less of a performance advantage than the oiled version. The other advantage of the oil free version is that since it is more restrictive, it does offer slightly better filtration.

How do you do the maintenance for the oiled versiom? is the reoiling a hassle?
