I just picked up the SP Injen intake, do I need to oil the new filter? I can't really tell by looking at it if it's already oiled, it doesn't look like it. Thanks in advance!

No you do not. Only when it's dirty do you oil (clean) the filter.

Are you 100% sure, how come there's no oily residue at all on the new filter? Sorry, I just want to be sure because I know the importance of properly oiling cotton filters.

if it's new from injen it's oiled out of the box, if you bought it off someone then it may need oil and cleaning and you can use the K&N cleaner kit.

Or to never oil again you can get AEM's dry filters and it on your injen

I am 100% sure you do not need to oil it. Ive had mine for 5000 miles and it's still fine but I think I will need to clean it soon. There might be a lot of gunk on it.
