Can anyone with a JLT comment on if that filter needs to be oiled in the first place? I oiled mine but the instructions didn't mention oiling...
The JLT II filter is a S&B and comes Pre Oiled. you only need to re-oil the filter when you clean it using the S&B Cleaning Kit.
S&B Recomends cleaning every 30,000 - 50,000 miles depending on driving conditions. The Filter is a S&B 4X8

It doesn't say, but I get the impression that that filter is oiled. I've used oiled filters of one kind or another on all three of my Mustangs, and it never ocurrred to me that it could fowl up the MAF sensor. Is that common? I'm passively shopping for a CAI at the moment, and that might influence my decision.


I have heard of the MAF fouling before, but usually after someone cleaned and reoiled it. Mine came right out of the box dripping with oil.
