Tips on oiling a Green filter

[lasturbo]

I agree Sprey but it would be dependent on how much oil you spray on it (K&N style) or how much you let it drain as Ldub mentioned.

I still dont like the sound of using a oiled filter, as for wouldnt some of the oil possibly fly down the intake into the maf sensor and make it give weird readings?

yeah that's why I really didn't like the TRD one which ended up with so much excess oil. I'd definitely add some kind of sprayer if I did it again.

Yes, Sprey, there's much documented debate about whether the oil can foul the MAF sensor. I think I even recall seeing a video on K&N's site to disprove that assertion. But many have also said if that does happen, it's pretty easy to clean the sensor.

Even so, once I saw the nano technology dry air filter from Amsoil, and that it's used by the military in the Abrahms tank, I decided it was the one for us. Sounds like the sales guy has me hypnotized I guess.

Too bad they don't make one to fit the VX....so I'll stick with the Green filter for the VX until either the rubber seals rot away (thanks Lisa) or something better and easier comes along.

Did you have them check to see if they're available for a Trooper or Rodeo of the same vintage?(99-01)
I'm pretty sure they use the same air box...

doh, no I didn't think of it (what a surprise). What year(s) specifically should I check? I know I've seen the years mentioned here but I didn't commit them to memory.

Don't know what years for certain, but I would think 97-01 would be close.

You could try snooping some air filter/parts websites to do a cross reference on part #'s...
Even the hard copy at your local wall-mt would provide that info...

Looks like 92-02 Troops & Ro-diddly-0's all same-same. (why yes I WAS channeling Ned Flanders...)

Notice all the part #'s are 33-2064, though I did see some ebay ads that listed part # 33-2108 for the Rodeo app, so......

Here's a list of other makes & models that share the same filter...
