I just cleaned my knn filter and let it air dry and now im worried about putting the right amount of oil on the filter. i sprayed it and i think i sprayed it to much but the clean side isnt red it sorta pink but the dirty side is red and foamy. i have to go to sleep asap its 11pm in az and i have to wake at 5am so quick help would be great.
thanks guys

 

if you think you sprayed too much than just wash it again and start over

 

Yeah that sound's like way too much. If it's just a little extra, hang it upside down and spin it with your arm. Should even it out.

 

Wrap it in newspaper overnight.

 

The "More is better" philosophy does not work well when oiling a filter. The possible downside of too much oil is fouling the MAF sensor.

 

well you guys were to late.... i had to use it to get to work. But i let it sit over night and it seemed fine. the foam was kinda me exagerating it wasnt foaming terribly. just alittle. im not to worried i just get unsure. im going to check it before i leave work and see if theres any sighn of oil in the intake tube. the problem with washing and reoiling is i had to work at 5 am and it take like 8 hours to dry. and it was 11 so 2 hours to short. im probley going to check my censor also and if theres red oil ill spray it clean. it just sux because i already had to clean my maf and throttle body soon after i bought the filter.

 

I have 2 filters for this exact reason, besides being able to make sure I am not coating my MAF with the oil I can quickly replace the filter and be done with the yob. I usually clean the filtet that just came off the Z and place it in a zip lock 1lb bag till needed.

 

I used to swap in my OEM airbox every time I cleaned my popcharger filter, but I think I am going to follow your lead and buy a 2nd filter. Much easier and no worries about running out of time and having to drive with a wet or over-oiled filter.

 

Took me a while to figure this out, think I will be changing my filter this upcoming weekend.

 

Clean at night, let dry overnight. oil filter in morning. let sit for 5 min. Install and enjoy.
