Using a K&N induction kit without oil?

Using a K&N induction kit without oil?

it should be fine mate , i always use to clean the induction kit filter using petrol then didn't apply oil after , so it should be fine to use without

I've just done mine on my MY00 too. The oil is designed to catch small particals because the filter is more free flowing, so its up to you if you want to risk it.

I've just cleaned mine with the K&N kit and have loads of the oil left if you need some.

I ordered a K&N filter service kit from the 'bay last night - wasn't one of my brightest ideas this thread.
