make sure that you allow ample time for the oil to dry because i did'nt know that and put the filter back on in a matter of 30 mins. this messed up the mass airflow sensor and got some oil into the injectors. so the dealer graciously fixed it free of charge (because they did'nt know :D) they had to clean the entire intake system

 

Are you serious? Oil in the injectors? WOW, if you did not pay them for cleaning your injectors because I would've felt really bad for you. There is no way oil got into your injectors, the air doesn't go through them, they fire into the intake path, not the other way around. Even if you managed to get the oil in them some how, just a few secs at WOT would blow it out through the atomizing process.

 

No but u can get oil on your MAF which can cause it to fail. Thats why I switched to a AEM dryflow.

 

Yeah does anyone know if weapon-r is dryflow too? Seems like they are just being cheap now and not making any oil.

 

I need to clean my injen air filter soon. Thanx for the writing!

 

anyone have a fujita cone? i never oiled it i dont know if i need to or not.

 

hmm these steps and products won't apply to fujita cone will it?

 

Hmmm before ever reading this i cleaned my Injen intake filter with compressed Air.. i didn't think about damaging it... do you think that i may of damaged the cone and i should buy a new one.. i only have about 15k on the intake and filter.

 

I'd also thought Fujita was oiled because of the color but the website says...

 

goin to be using this hopfully this weekend

 

if you can clean the filter about every 50k miles or 100k miles... how often do you have to change the filter?

and if you have to change the filter, do you have to use an injen filter for let's say the Injen CAI (RD2105), or can you use the K&N filter...

 

if u let it dry in the sun is that like using a blow drier? will it sshrink it a lil

 

NEWS FLASH!!!

just read this thread over at the Lexus IS forums and found the info to be pretty helpful!

http://my.is/forums/f88/best-method-...s-ever-188702/

you get a bucket, use 2 scoops of Oxy-Clean (scoop included) then 3-4 liters of Soda Water (club-soda), dip your filter for about 5 minutes and watch all the dirt and grime float to the top!!

then repeat the usual steps of Air Drying and Oiling!

Cant wait to try this myself!

 

so after reading this thread i went to my pepboys and autozone stores none of them had the K&N one but they had the Speed by Spectre one the guy said it does the samething as the K&N one...i just want to make sure its safe to use with the Injen filter

 

too bad it doesn't work on stock paper filters

 

wouldnt be worth doing it on the stock ones anyway..and plus there no dye on stock..cheap to replace anyway....Intake equals more power car can breathe

 

nice writeup!

 

great write up i was going to clean my filter but had no clue how but with the help of this write up i now have a better idea.

 

I tried to do it myself, but without success... I am a stupid guy

 

So, it says to spray cleaner on both sides of the filter. Does this mean inside of the filter as well?
