I'm thinking about getting the K&N drop-in, but I can't seem to find the proper answer in regards to how it comes oiled? I remember Maxima K&N filters (all of them, not just the drop ins) were so crappy, that some claimed they were responsible for blown MAFs. So I went and got an A'PEXi for my Berk intake and loved it. Any who, unfortunately it looks like K&N is the only option for a new drop-in filter.

I did some searching, but this is a pretty broad topic which garnered a bunch of results. Basically, after all of this time, are the K&Ns still over oiled?

I wouldnt think so. I don't have the drop in I have the full typhoon kit, but it came pre oiled okay and after you wash it the first time you have to re-oil it yourself which I think is the same on all K&N filters. So I guess if you dont trust it you could just do the the recharge kit before you install it.

How is the Blitz filter then? It seems more like an A'PEXi in design, in that it doesn't require oil.

I'm not sure I don't have any experience with it. I had the Apex'i on my DSM and loved it. They make a new bolt up for Z's maybe you should try that.

I believe they're fine as they come from the factory. I think most people run into problems when they re-oil them.

I've never had any trouble with mine, but I usually clean the MAF sensor every few months.
