Guest UVETTYA Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I have a K&N cleaning/oil kit. I used the cleaning stuff to clean the filter. (I hope that was ok) Can I use the K&N oil on my Blackwing? It's sitting outside in the driveway drying and I'm going to spray it with K&N oil soon. So someone stop me if I'm about to do a no no...

Hope you were easy on the oil application Steve!!Lots of old threads on other forums of over zealous oil application leading to oil build up on the MAF wires and the associated engine problems with the ECM getting goofy data!!Less is better, just clean it more often!!Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I've read of some having trouble with their MAF after over-oiling a filter. And, I put it on with no oil because I didn't get an answer to the question of whether it's ok to use K&N oil on a Blackwing filter. I don't have Blackwing oil and don't know where to get it. Seems like it should be ok to use it but if there's an incompatibility between the oil and the material it could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 When I had my C5 I got the cleaning/oil kit at Extreme. I believe they stock the Donaldson kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 What exactly does the oil do anyway? I've got a K&N on my truck and have used it, but never understoold why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/hijack] Sorry Steve....To answer the question as asked, you may TRY and get from my Grandson's house, and I do mean TRY. I think the kid would beat on you heavily around your mid section though! He loves his Little Yeller Corvette!!! Now that I got that out of my system, they can be found at Toys R Us. Back to filter oil, and their uses....

Dvl4evr Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 From what I've heard, all the oils are the same. When I bought my Vararam, they suggested to save your money & get the air cleaner oil @ a motorcycle/atv parts & supply shop. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 We grew up with Dad's 68 ford F250 camper special which had a factory oil bath air cleaner, that thing had 239,000 on the original motor when he sold it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
