Dry Vs Oiled Filters: What is the difference? (Interview) 

If you blow compressed air on the dirty side of the air filter, I will laugh at you

TRY CLEANING AIR FILTERS ON A M1A1 ABRAMS TANK IN IRAQ THEY ARE HUGE AND YOU BEAT WASH BLOW FOR HOURS TO CLEAN THEM

Change your oil every 5k, bet it won't make a difference which filter you use, but i still prefer paper, seems to catch a lot more dirt.

how do you clean the prefilters?

K&n uses a aerosol spray oil,what's the issue?

AFE makes a reusable dry filter. They work great. Just hose them out and let them dry and they're ready to go another round.

I'll make it short and sweet. If you are looking for performance get the biggest oiled filter that exists. If you are looking for engine longevity get the best and biggest dry filter that exists for your vehicle. Oiled filters have larger perforations, allowing more air, and thus performance, but at the cost of allowing fine dust particles through. Paper, a GOOD quality paper filter (WIX, Purolator), has tiny perforations preventing or "restricting" air flow, resulting in a very slightly diminished performance, but improved air filtration of finer dust particles with respect to oiled. For all you pro oil filters people. Yeah, at first your going to "potentially" notice better performance, and improved fuel econ; however, in time, you are going to lose all of it at at substantial significance secondary to the wear from those fine dust particles over the years from all those fine dust particles wearing out the rings and cylinders. I F'ed up and installed a K&N and cleaned and reoiled it at every other oil change. The performance and fuel econ on that vehicle vs my other vehicle that just used a quality dry filter is remarkable to say the least (over the years). I will be honest here, I would never, and I mean never, install another oiled filter on any of my vehicles again. Hey, do what you like, it's your ride, I am just shedding some light on the matter. Oh, if you need real clarification, look up Project Farm and his testing on such filters. A definite watch before considering an oiled filter for sure.

Why are they the same price

in the way of afe, KN and AEM a dry filter should trap more dirt and need less maintenance. While an oiled filter will allow more air flow but you prob need to keep up on maintenance

Dry cloth seem to be best

Hi nice videos I would like to know how many miles you can change cotton or dry filter? Thanks

This is exactly why I do not use s b because their dry filters are throw alway filters the dry filters that banks offers reusable

How do I know if my filter is dry or wet? It’s an S&B true flow. It came with my Whipple Supercharger.

I have a DNA motoring AFPN drop in air filter for my F150,, it saids just use air filter cleaner spray let Dry reuse,, doesn’t need re-oiled!

I just pour some Budweiser on my oiled filter s&b on my 7.3 and she keeps on shinin

If you run an oil filter on a turbo it sucks the oil in an causes all kinds of problems ?

When he said “blow off the dirt from the outside, with compressed air, while it’s still in the truck”, I almost lost my lunch. This dude is a filter expert? Bulshhh!

What type of oil is used on your filters? Mineral?

Does the oiled air filter costs more than the dry air filter?

No comment on MAF damage which pretty much everyone wonders, along with tuners.

How does compressed air damage the cotton? The metal grid should keep it in place.

how do you clean those just pour water on it ?

All your oil filter reusable?

Oil filters can be dangerous. Get a dry filter.

As soon as he said use compressed air to clean a filter elements I stopped listening.... Compressed air is the fastest way to blow holes in the media

With my 08 6.7 CTD running a stock replacement filter I ran into the issue of the turbo sucking the oil out of the filter in less than a month, and it would also pull the filter minder down. Most diesel guys I know say not to run an oil filer, is there a workaround for this? 08 ram with deletes and h&s mini maxx.

He's a specialist and says it's okay to blow air on the outside the filter? That is bad you want to blow it out from the inside.

So can I wash my dry filter with water

Sounds just like iv8888

Is

Havent cleaned mine in 150k.

1 quick coat of oil one way and turn it around and 1 more coat to get the other side. Common sense tells you don't drench it with oil. Never had a problem and no need to buy new filters.

would wd-40 or cooking spray lubricate the filter? if your poor? lol

I use Virgin Olive Oil on my filter. 😂 Just kidding

You say don't use an aerosol can to apply oil to the filter, yet you sell oil in an aerosol can for your filters... what gives?

oh my god , if a tiny bit of dust was to get past filter I'm sure the fuel and air burning would destroy it before it wears away your rings eh ?? ive run k and n on all my cars and motorbikes and will continue to use them . please use your brains people lmfao

i dont like s&b they look super cheap. AFE all the way.
