Title: does K&N RU-2790 come oiled?
Post by: kml.krk on July 28, 2007, 08:50:21 AM
I tried to contact K&N store but they did not respond yet. I'm not sure if I need to order oil separately or the filter is going to come oiled?
Any ideas?
Cheers

If it isn't oiled, basically any chain auto parts store sells the oil (Pep Boys, Autozone, etc).  If it's oiled, the fabric should look red or brownish and be a bit greasy.

Again, make sure to use the K&N oil, not foam filter oil as foam oil will make your bike run like garbage.

Mine (while still in the package awaiting the longest rejet in the world) is oiled . The oil that comes on it isn't very dark , as there's nothing dirty on it yet  :icon_twisted:
