The pipercross filter needs oil to work properly. There should be a spray tin which came with the kit (I got one with my induction kit on my old car, and the panel filter for the one I have now). It does leave a film on what ever surface it touches, so nothing to worry about.

which is the best panel filter to get kNn? pipercross? standard? etc.. notsure.gif

To be honest, between the pipercross and the K&N, it's down to personal choice. I've always used Pipercross, and other people will have always used K&N

i'm hoping it's off that as well. every time i've cleaned the filter i've oiled it off the car and it's the first time i've found this.

i've had both over the last few years and its just down to personnel choice. pipercross is louder than k n, not sure about power figure's though
