In my quest for better mileage I cleaned my round K&N for my 80. I have done lots of panel filters that were flat but never a circular one. Anyone know the best way to oil this?
Thanks

take the throttle cable out of its resting notch, take off the MAF plug and unclip the cruse control cable from the support bracket (last two not required but easier if you do) undo all the air cleaner thumb clamps and wing nut leave the air cleaner cover in place for now, loosen the duct clamp at the Throttle body end.
slide the duct and upper air cleaner assembly off the throttle body (towards trucks right) lifting only high enough to clear the stud in the air cleaner,
if it has not been removed in a wile it may want to stick to the throttle body so be gentle with it, if it will not slide off try slight rotation, if not then try sliding a dull thin object (like a butter knife or if you are skilled a 90* pick) between the duct and TB to break the hold careful not to cut or stretch the duct,
After you get the lid off remove the round K&N air filter and place it in trash can, install new OEM air filter and your air filter will have the proper amount of oil in it, None.

I'm kinda glad I never threw out the OEM filter....
It's washable. It (sic) just feels kinda sketchy.... I dunno.
Sugar or plain cone? Toasted or non toasted sandwich? Personal preferances are just that. Is this chit chat or tech? I asked a simple technical question which became a K&N bash.
I have used K&N's with benefit & no consequence for years. I had it on my Tundra, Z, Challenger and on my BMW. All worked great and all were easily cleaned & oiled.
Please explain how asking this was a personal affront?
