The EVO filter does not have oil. It is just a cone filter, larger tubing and bigger airbox.

The EVO cone filter most definately does have oil. It is the oil that helps trap smaller particles. Mine came with instructions on cleaning and reapplying the oil. I do not remember in it was a K&N cone filter or a look a like but its basically the same thing.

The instructions say nothing of oil. The cone filter looks like a normal filter.

Do you think you have an older version? Now I am really confused.

"Get a drop in BMC filter. The evo intake will take out you MAF sensor, too much oil. Yes you can clean the sensor if this happens or you may have to replace it."
I have been paranoid about the BMC filter with my TTP intake taking out my MAF. The BMC filter in my system uses oil. But so far no problems with the MAF and I have put on over 20K miles using the TTP intake system.

Really guys, there is no oil, and the filter is not pre oiled. Is it possable that this is just a regular cone filter?
Does anyone have a website or # of evolution motorsports so I can put this to rest?

I could have fried chicken with the amount of oil that comes on those things. Maybe the newer filters do not have oil. That too is a bad thing. You need the oil to trap the little things.
