You mean these? http://www.knfilters.com/filtercharger.htm

K&N Filters are washable since the filter is made of gauze. It uses suspended oil to trap dirt and other particles. K&N claims a hp/torque increase but I see it as an environmentally friendly re-useable filter.

No he is talking about the S&B filter that comes with the KKM intake! I don't recall ever hearing of a washable filter that doesn't need oil. Maybe it's one of rht foam filters!

Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

S&B and KKM are one in the same. It's a conical filter. I do remember hearing about the non oil one but I can't recall much about it. Why are you too lazy to wash it once every 30k or so? The cleaner stuff is like $10 and lasts for about 4-5 cleanings.
