Are K&N Filters ready to use out of the box or do I need to also purchase the oil and apply it prior to the first use?

I take them from the box and place into vehicle. I only re-apply oil after cleaning.

Ready to use right out of the box. But you can purchase cleaning kit for later use.

No but some dealers will quickly blame the customers if they don't know what the real issue is to why a check engine may come on. If you do exactly what the directions say by K&N; you will be fine. Just be careful with the mass air flow sensor they are fragile and are easy to break. I know this because I've broke one with one of my many K&N; intake installs. Just relax, take your time and enjoy the install.

out-of-the-box they are supposed to be pre-oiled so all you need to do is install it and go. It made a different animal out of my Tundra which was already quite respectable.

If you go to K&Ns website, that's what they say. I do use this filter, it is a cartridge that is internal to the engine body and not a spin on and if that's what you have, then it is likely the right one.

http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?prod=57-3023-1 scroll down to the accessories section and they have multiple colors for the wrappers. They are not required unless you live in an excessively damp or dirty environment. Just grab the "part number" and search for one here on Amazon, you'll find one for much cheaper than what K&N is asking for them

Unpack everything is in the box find the fastners that fits your equipment. Using screw driver tighten fastners and assembly after filter on the outake line. Using the tool in case and a drill. Drill the hole in the middle of assembly. Use the lube and plumbers tape on filter and screw it in. You are finished. It took me about 20 minutes.

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)

Yes it does. You will eventually need a filter cleaning kit and I also put K&N;'s waterproof cover on mine (just to ensure no moisture gets in the intake).

The Brand of Oil & the Brand of Filter-- has nothing to do with when you change itYou can come on these forums & try to make a case about your preferencesBut are they fact based & what the vehicles motor requiresNothing to do with the manufactures silly recommendationsFollow only that you won't have much to do & will break downThey only suggest less than the bare min

I believe you can if it is to only replace the stock round air filter that was on the bike and or Screamin' Eagle version which is very similar to K&N meaning it's a life long buddy, permanent element, wash it and then air dry it when it comes time to service it, no oil for this one, I've got a 2002 efi FLSTC with an 88ci ,1450cc engine and everything is stock, take cover out of box ,installed a little nut retainer on that tri-bar nut that bolts the filter cover on that you see , placed three little soft foam gaskets on the black-out plate that goes on under the filter cover,screw the bolt to hold the filter cover on , and GO! I hope it helps you, brutha!

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

I have no noise really to speak of. I've used K&N; open oil type and did get some whistle.The good thing about the filter is no oil, no oil can get in your intake which I have read can happen.I've read a lot before I bought this and most, not all, say this is best way to go, gives you better air flow but not to much like open oil type and w/o oil. The closed oiled system is cheaper and will do fine, that fact that it's closed makes it quite. Either one is very good.

Yes you do need to buy engine oil. 5W-30 is recommended. It is easily available in Walmart rather than Lowes or HomeDepot

Hi, I have this accessory one year, I'll change the oil as soon as possible, but with a colleague who is engaged in servicing motorcycles. The weather is still unfavorable to him finished. When the oil filter is replaced, I'll know more. But I assume that the filter is a "classic" type, no exotics.

With some gasoline and car engine oil (SAE 40) it will be 100% ready to operate the first day. Use the safety equipment provided with the equipment (gloves, ear and eye protection). Good luck !!

If the K&N 69-9504TTK is new it will have a reusable filter. The filter can be washed in soap & water, dried, and replaced on the system. K&N does sell a kit that you should use to replace the oil on the filter. I used this system in my Audi A3 with the 2.0L Turbo 4 cylinder and it works well.

I would suggest checking K&N's website to see what filters fit your bike. Doing that saved me a lot of potential headache.
