i heard k&n made the Spt air filter, so i was thinking to purchase the recharge kit for the filter need some 411(Not on a DIY) more if you know anything of this?!

 

Replace it, it says to replace the filter every 15k, i might be wrong on the mileage. If its is the one that came with the intake it is not cleanable and your MAF could get angry.

 

I have used the recharge kit on my spt many times after buying 3 of them. There is no difference and the maf is fine.

 

i think i saw it on clubwrx.com

 

oiled filters before the MAF are bad..

 

DO NOT oil ur filter. SPT filters are dry. K&N are oiled as are the recharge kits. Using those are a great way to destroy ur MAF sensor.

 

ok i just opened the product now what!? when i bought the spt air filter it felt a little greasy like..

 

i dont get it !?!

 

The instructions say to replace it so I would do that. I heard the v1 model had to be replaced but the v2 could be cleaned, but both instructions say to replace it.

 

how do i know wich one i have

 

V2, wtf u talkin bout Willis...

They are cotton. Replace them. I blow mine out every now and again then toss. And you're not even suppose to do that.

40 bucks once a year ain't bad.

 

Replace them. They aren't meant to be reused.

 

what if i get the k&n filter (same price)

 

^^^^^^^

Says the dude whose job is to SELL SOA parts...






I kid I kid.

 

Hey, it is my job. No kidding required. I get why you said that.

The truth of the matter is they aren't meant to be re-oiled and reused. So just replace them. They're not expensive.

If you want to use a K&N I guess you can. K&N filters and any filter that contains a large amount of oil to trap dirt can cause problems with the MAF sensors on Subarus because that oil gets past the filter and can clog the sensor. Even if I didn't sell the stuff I'd just replace the filter. It's cheap enough and safer in my opinion.
