Does the filter come ready to install or do you have to add oil before it is installed?

The filter is ready to install right out of the box. You will notice an increase in power the first time you drive after that.

If you order as new it comes pre-oiled. All you have to do to install it is to figure out how to remove the filter box cap. I'll assume you have a Dodge Ram so all you have to do is locate the air box on the far left side, slide the clips off, pull out the old filter and put in the pre-oiled filter. Even though it comes pre-oiled, I'd still recommend getting the K&N; Clean kit for the filter. You definitely want to remove all the dirt that collects there and then reapply the oil (At 15,000 Miles - 50,000 Miles; Depending on environment and your vehicle's application)

Oil is supplied with the fan. There's a oil fill plug on the top,remove the plug and fill.

There's no oil filter, so I would have to say no. I'm still breaking it in (less than 5 hours on it).

Hi, no it doesn't need oil. It's a paper media filter. If you got a K&N; aftermarket filter that is cotton filter media, then yes, you would need oil.

It does not come with a container or filter in the drain tube. Its a pretty slick design. I set the unit on the side of the sink and my container in the sink and drain the oil through a strainer. After cleaning the unit, I pour the oil back into the unit and store until the next time. I'll dump the oil after the second or third use.

It comes oiled already, but you will have to buy oil the first time you clean it

The oil filter is just a fine screen down on the bottom. It looks like a filler cap but it has a bolt in it. Just pull it out and clean.

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

What I did was place enough oil in the filter to wet the fibers, then installed. Just a precaution I used to ensure that I wasnt doing a full on dry start.

When new, filter is sealed in cellophane and is already oiled. There is no additional oil that comes with the filter.

depends....if you do it the right way.... you are supposed to remove most of the old oil , install new filter dryer ,install new adapter fittings,purge with nitrogen, pressure test with same check for leaks at all connections if you lose pressure under test,then use vacuum pump to bring down to required vacuum with the refrigerant attached so you can release it under vacuum, this could take a good 6 hours for all of this...or you can just do the vacuum part which if there is no leaks would or should only take few hours then release refrigerant or skip that which would leave atmosphere in the system (not Ideal) then it would only take you about half hour to install...I did mine the long way and it works great. Actually I did every thing I mentioned above except remove the old oil and it works great so far...which is like 3 months of light use

Gary, this is probably one of the better upgrades I have done to my bike. For the money you get better oil cooling, easy on and off cleaning and no more throw away filters. I have always changed my oil frequently and this awesome filter set up makes it easier than ever. It also adds a bit of bling to the front end. I get asked all the time what it is and where did I get it!

Michael,The filter had a VERY light film of oil, which I consider insufficient for my use. Otherwise a good filter I would recommend it to others for the price. Good Luck

It comes with directions that tell you how to install it. There is an "air flow arrow" on the sides of the filter and it tells which way to install it.

Mine came with a filter. I didn't install, but the person who did seemed to have everything he needed (i.e. he didn't tell me we needed other parts/equipment). Filters lasts about 6 mos.

No need to pull the filter off before you put this on. After you change your fluids, replace the filter (chrome or black) THEN put the passive cooler on. After you put it on and ride for a bit, make sure it is still in place, as mine slid over an inch or so. It did not come off, but it did slide over a bit. Makes a nominal difference in the oil temp.

With any k&n; product it comes pre charged ready for installation. I enjoyed this product very much. Can't tell you the amount of times I've washed re oil and replaced. If you still have the original filter take off the pre filter mesh and install it on the k&n.; Helps out immensely.
