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

[@xc0n-906]

I did and was perfectly fine

[@williamsavery2056]

Should I oil the cone part at the top?

[@PurpHaze830]

If there is filter media, then yes

[@mlb1633]

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

[@glockpoppin]

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

[@doctersound9630]

Yes.

Can you use Dawn on the oiled one? I used it on my dry filter. Worked fine.

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?

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.

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!

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

Can I oil a blue filter with gold oil?

[@aFePower1]

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

[@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

[@amsdetailing]

This was really helpful. Thanks!

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

[@Pathasher]

You can use warm not hot
