My AEM CAI filter is full or grease/dirt ect. My question is should i clean it? Or buy a new filter? K&N? AEM?

K&N ftw

Aem dryflow. Personally i don't like any greased filters as they have a tendancy to fuck up maf's.

============================================
The oil from K&N oil filters will NOT ruin a MAF sensor. That is a topic straight destined for Myth busters. K&N is advising all customers with their filters to directly contact them for Legal support and backing against all auto manufacture warranty claims.

They have third party testing of multiple MAFs that were 100 percent submursed in their air filter oil with no subsequent ill effects.

You can Bath a K&N in oil and only loose performance due to air flow restriction.

Not to mention that your data logs show your MAF flow rate to be in the proper location. If a MAF has a coated eliment for some reason it will take more air flow to cool off the MAF sensor wire and thus indicate to the computer it is not getting as much airflow as it should. If this happened the computer would be looking in a different calculated load cell for air flow verus rpm and add too much timing causing the knock.

true or not i have no idea. but i use a k&n and it works fine.

I like K and N oil filters. Their dry filters are good though..

If its REALLY gunked get a dry flow or a oil filter and a cleaner kit (8,99) and clean it every 10,000 or so...

I'll agree with the AEM Dryflow..

And If you're looking for one that's 3.5" I have one..

Also.. The oil on the filter wouldn't be flying off too much as it is very sticky.

I have a K&N myself and its still very clean after a few weeks of use.
