ivak Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hey guys, I have bought K&N Air Filter 33-2955 from carparts4less for my fiesta and when I took it out of the box it is all oily. Should I just give it a good clean with rag and canned air? Or not open it at all and apply for refund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal. Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's meant to be like that. http://www.knfilters.com/cleaning.htm This video shows the cleaning and re-oiling process. Re-oiling at about 50s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss max Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Hello and welcome Ivan 2 types of air filter. Dry and wet ie oiled. If you want a dry filter then ask to exchange it for a dry filter. The oiled Filter just helps to trap particles more effectively so it won't do any harm fitting it to your car. They are washable with the correct cleaning fluid. Should see 50k miles before needing washed and re oiled. Even the dry ones are washable. So get it installed in and enjoy. Just for info here's the link to your filer at kn.com. have a read and I am sure you will be fine http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/product.aspx?prod=33-2955 When it comes to service time you will need this to clean and re oil your filter http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/product.aspx?prod=99-5000EU Edited October 12, 2016 by Joss max added detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivak Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 I knew that this filter is reusable, but maybe I was just overreacting from the excess oil. I'll leave it on kitchen towels to absorb it and wipe out the plastic sides before use. Thanks guys and at least I know how to reuse it in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
