k&n air filter

I dont have mine in yet. I purchased mine because I saw a great sale and coupon off ability. I am going to check the stock filter though at my 16k Spark plug install and see if I should replace yet, or if looks good enough for another 8k miles when it will be the recommended change duration.
But I opened the box and mine was in a bag, already oiled it looks like. I had purchased the cleaner and oil though just in case. Now I have them for the future.

Does it come ready to drop, or needs to be oiled?
They are pre-oiled and only need to be oiled again after you wash them. Don't have one on the bike, but had them in my old truck.

any proven advantages of a K&N air filter?

Higher flow than most stock air filters increasing hp in most cars and trucks by 5hp. Since the 6R has a high flow already (just not reusable) it won't increase hp.

Ok, so along the same lines of the thread... I have the cleaner and re-oiler spray already. ONCE I actually place it in the bike, I am good for about 24k miles again I would believe before I would need to wash it.Higher flow than most stock air filters increasing hp in most cars and trucks by 5hp.

How much work is washing these filters? what do you do exactly to "wash & clean them". I would believe that then to re-oil you just spray it down.
Pending the work involved I might consider getting on for my Blazer. I purchased the purolator Premium ONE w/ oiled filter (supposedly the good 99% filtration one). I want good filtration on the blazer due to issues with the MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR getting dirty and giving me codes. Clean the MAFS and it goes away and great acceleration again. I have read though that the oiled filters can cause problems with the MAFS in vehicles. Anyone have any problems?
Price wise about the same as the OEM, but can be re-used.any proven advantages of a K&N air filter?

If you over oil them, yes (MAF), doesn't take a lot of oil the make a K&N filter filter.Ok, so along the same lines of the thread... I have the cleaner and re-oiler spray already.

Easy to clean, wash, let dry and just spray with oil, don't soak the thing with oil.
Back years ago and I mean many years ago they did a filter test on MX bikes to see if a clean filter made more horsepower than a dirty one, a slightly dirty one actually made more power on the dyno, don't go making your filter pre-dirty, but just a weird fact.
