Hey guys, sorry for starting a new thread just about this, but I just wanted to make sure: Do you spray air filter oil on a new air filter prior to install?
I just bought the OEM Nissan air filters for my 2007 G35x from Infiniti and I plan on installing them today.

 

most filters come pre oiled if they are that type of filter..the oem one does not require oil.

edit: you can delete this thread since you created it, no need to muddy the waters!

 

Thanks for the quick response! Would oil make the OEM filter more effective?

How do I delete the thread afterwards? I was just looking for a button or under thread tools that would delete it but did not see one.

 

Only oil based filters should be oiled.
Never oil a dry filter.

The OEM filters are dry filters. Oiling them will make them much less efficient. Leave them alone.
Just drop them in and you're done.

 

Thanks- you guys are great. Now how do I delete this thread to unclutter the forum?

 

Don't worry about it...
You've just done your part to add to the knowledge base, if you ask me

 

Actually, you guys are the ones that added to the knowledge base hehe. Thanks again guys!
