Which cold air intake filter to go with?

3" flange diameter

I went to clean the one i've got now and im not sure if it needs to be oiled or not. Is there a way to tell if its a dry or oiled filter? I dont know the brand. Thought I'd just play it safe and get a new one. Most likely K&N, not sure which model. I want a more performance orientated filter.

No filter by itself is going to make a bit of difference in power or performance. Oiled or dry is a personal preference, I happen to prefer R2C filters but I don't think you can get them anymore. I run a K&N on both of our cars and have been happy with them for many years. Stay away from foam filters nd the WeaponR brand.

If in fact you have a K&N most quality auto parts stores sell the cleaning kit! ($10=) Or, if you want the best dry filter buy a AMSOIL drop in! There's zero HP improvement in any filter but it's good to know your motor is breathing clean air...Gary

Biggest advantage of a filter like the K&N is you can clean it and usually never have to replace it unless it somehow gets damaged.

Yeah...but for the price of one of those I can keep buying new fram filters for the entire life of the car lol.
Easier to just change it out than waste time cleaning the K&N.
