[Shotimes] 80mm MAF failure, CLEANING procedure and Materials?

[Ron Porter]

Yes, it definitely looks like a "K&N Style" filter, but I don't know what
the material is.

I agree, though, that oil is a very good filter medium, and you might as
well run a paper filter rather than risk the motor wear with something like
this.

All I can figure is that they got a good deal from this supplier, and they
can make more $$$ than they can selling K&N filters.

That looks like they are just using a K&N style filter and 
NOT oiling it!  This is NOT a good way to filter air.  The 
oil does NOT coat the MAF element unless you get stupid with 
oiling it, and the oil is essential in getting the fine 
particles of dirt that can wear out a motor.

Anyone actually bought one of these to see what the filter 
media is?  If just Gauze, then I would use the K&N filter 
oil anyway.
