JWT Popcharger need oiling?
This is probably a stupid question, but I've heard some people say something along the lines of 'reoiling the filter' in reference to the popcharger. Doe the filter require oiling before installation?
I couldn't totally disregard the possibility that this was the case because it is basically the same filter element as a K&N and I know those require oiling prior to install.
Any input would be appreciated as I will be installing this tomorrow. (Bought it slightly used, hence no instructions so I couldn't go off of that.)
Thanks

the popcharger comes pre-oiled, so normally, you don't need to oil it again before installation
but since you bought it used, I would check the filter to make sure it's not too dirty... if it is, then you may need to get a cleaner/re-oil kit for it

Basically the same rules on cleaning/ applying oil as on a K&N I would guess? Not too difficult. For that matter, could you just USE the K&N cleaner/oil?

I bought a can of the blue spray on oil from Performance Nissan...I've re-oiled my filter twice now in the 10k miles or so I've had the car.... I think once a year or once every 6 months is fine.
Most people probably would let it go 3 years or something, but I like to keep it as new as possible.

The BLUE oil will fade to gray after a while even if it isnt dirty... Just because it is gray does NOT mean it needs to be re-oiled...
Only when you CLean the filter you will need to re-oil...

I would suggest after putting a good amount of miles on your JWT Popcharger is to get a air hose and blow all the debris and dirty off the filter as much as possible. Concentrating more from the inside of the popcharger blowing through filter.
