The oil helps trap particles, without it, the high flow filters allow too large of a particle through. As for what kind, I would say whatever the brand you have but I don't know. I had a K&N on my jeep so I used that.

But it's died red so be careful with what color you have now. If you have a blue filter ... say a C&L, it'll turn purple or bronwish.
