Steve and Listers,
I heard of similar instances happening in the off-road racing circles where
the first time K&N customer claimed the damn things didn't work at all. It
turned out the consumer didn't oil them before they installed them. K&N
used to supply their filters to the public un-oiled and it was up to the
consumer to ensure that the proper amount and type of oil was applied to
the filter surface. After a couple of situations like the one you described
above they decided it was necessary to pre-oil all the filter elements they
sold. I guess the HUGE oil before using stickers were ignored.
