Are they oiled when they come out of the box? I put one in about 3 days after I bought my car. I know you have to oil them after cleaning them, but out of the box are they essentially oiled?

Yeah, they have to have oil, or they don't work.... oil is what stops the dirt.

And yes, they are definately oiled out of the box.

Ive always used k&n. Im with chris tho, not much of a hp gain on a ko3. Use it on a gt28r or ko4, something that sucks more air. You will notice it.

Damn it, my K&N was like $60 and I don't wanna have to go buy another filter and lose a little power. Is the MAF clogging common on Audi's or every vehicle with a K&N? I had one on my truck for 30K miles with no problems. Kind of curious, never heard about this before.

I just went down to my local Tractor supply place and got me a home made air filter.
It keeps birds and small children out.
