Mines an oil (wet). I cleaned it last night and oiling it today, just honestly wondering how often it needs to be done. At any rate, happy to have it redone now.

Eventually I may pick up a second wet filter just so the car isn't out of commission for any time while waiting for the filter clean to complete. Like I said, it's a pita to pull out as we had to disconnect almost everything to remove it. Wet or dry, same process....

My advice to you as a mechanic if its in a small low car don't crash through puddles, seen lots of water damaged engines with col air intakes. Just my thought but the manufacture pays the engineers a pile of money to design a air intake to work best with the vehicle it's going on. There is only one way to get more air in an engine less filtration. But they work just make sure you tighten all the clams and have fun

I have an EVOMS cold air intake on my Porsche and switched to a dry filter instead of an oiled filter, because if you use too much oil you can damaged you MAF sensor, then I used a Injen HydroShield Pre-Filters over my filter

I'm still waiting for my filter to dry...almost 24 hours now.

Scubadawg, I may switch it to a dry filter, but I'm giving this a try. I've watched so many how to videos. I'm using the K&N recharge kit as that was what was recommended by the shop who sold it. I've also read about over oiling it as well. It looks like the roto fab kit, you squeeze the oil into each rib, this kit is an aerosol can. I just hope I don't have to do this every few months.....
