pet73r 0 Posted March 3, 2011 Anyone help me? I have a Jetex cone filter, one of them massive jobbies from Jabba sport. Anyway, without having to buy the cleaning kit that Jetex offers are there any other alternatives? I already have a K&N cleaning kit, of which the cleaner will work fine, but when it comes to oiling the filter, the oil in the K&N kit is red. Not good on a blue filter, unless you want a yukky colour filter, which i do not. Is any filter oil okay to use? For example, Shell filter oil..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SHELL-ADVANCE-FILTER-OIL-FOAM-AIR-FILTER-OIL-1-x-300-ml-/370264827799?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item563580e797#ht_1676wt_907 or say, castrol filter oil http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CASTROL-FOAM-AIR-FILTER-OIL-SPRAY-/290534976498?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a53bebf2#ht_1448wt_907 Or does anyone have any recommendations? Are there any clear oils out there that i can use on my bright blue filter? Or any other blue oils which dont cost £20 plus?? While were on the subject.... Alot of people have told me that having this massive air filter is just sucking in alot of hot air. Which we all know is not good. We all also know that the corrado G's do run very hot, so this statement kinda makes sense. Anyone else want to add their opinion? Is the air filter doing more harm than good? Or are my sources just telling me a load of hot air?? So to speak. (sorry, had to get it in there.) :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted March 4, 2011 probably be best off selling that filter and getting a standard airbox with the paper filter , the biggest worry on a g60 is clean air , if its sucking dirty air then the charger will be full of grinding paste Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted March 4, 2011 Those cone filters are rubbish pal. Go back to an OEM filter as above (unless your rich in which case get one of these... http://www.swgmotorsport.com/asps/ShowDetails.asp?id=172) You can get a second hand air box on here for quite cheep and replacement filters for £20....

16VG60 1 Posted March 4, 2011 100% agree with the view expressed regarding swap back to OEM paper filter and airbox. Oiled type filters can cause many running faults with modern engines, I see this issue all the time with customers cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pet73r 0 Posted March 4, 2011 thanks for the advice guys. I have a standard air box that will go back on now. It does however have a K&N panel filter in it. Shall I bin this and revert back to the paper type filter? Or is this ok if I look after it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks 0 Posted March 5, 2011 yes K&N in standard air box is what i run no problems although i have been tempted to drill a few holes in the bottom to let more air into it # Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But thee K&N replacement filter will do you fine. Just keep it clean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
