The only oil problem I've ever see you are when the filters are over oiled. Otherwise no problem.

Thanks Denver Steve. I had read that as well. So if i do go for the K&N i have to be meticulous with the cleaning and oiling process. Do you have any experience with changing the spark plug tubes? I just really want to know if there is any difference between the porsche originals and the Febi aftermarket.

You don't have to be meticulous. Just oil sparingly. A little goes a long way. I have no knowledge about the spark plug tubes as I have the dealership do all my maintenance.

When you guys talk about oiling and cleaning are you oiling and cleaning the filter itself?
