Default Is it a k and n that has to be oiled?

If it is I wouldn't if I were you. They don't filter very well and also particles of oil get all over the maf screwing it up.

Far better sticking to paper filters IMO

I have read thoughts on oiled filters. Some say don't use them, others say don't over oil them and you'll be fine.

There was even a link to k&n's site where they had posted results of the oil in their filter had how it (apparently) stayed in the cotton and didn't clog up the MAF.

I think it is an oiled filter - waiting for it to arrive.
