What is your preference??? Oil or Dry filters? Drop a comment below 👇

Rick Steel Customs

I am dry filter all the way. And when it gets dirty I just remove it and hit it with my 15 horse industrial compressor and clean/blow it out and reinstall it. No oily mess to deal with.

Jeff Hamann

Oil all the way. I toss mine in a bucket of water and Dawn soap and let her soak while changing oil. After about 30, swish it around in the soap for a few minutes flexing the ribs (no brush)( if the water is nasty, you're clean or at least cleaner), hit it with the garden hose (inside out) for a few minutes. Lightly shake it out, Set out to dry in the sun. Lightly (I mean a couple of squirts of filter oil per side – don’t go full “Earl” with it). Reinstall.

The ribbed cloth like material lets more air flow and the oil helps catch the smaller dirt particles without restricting the flow, like paper. I’ve been doing this for over 200k + miles…..same filter, same method. If this is messing up your mass air sensor, you are likely using way too much oil. 👍

i run a mesh filter in my 08 duramax. after first wash i run it dry ever since, and then normal servicing. was worried bout the oil on the mas so i run it dry ur thought on that?

Josh

I love my banks cold air on my 2013 cummins

Ohnij 3D

My cummins has been running a s&b oiled filter since 2012 253000km no issues I clean my turbo off once and awhile from oil build up. Runs good no dust in tube.

DS4Guy

How do I get the squared style HSP air filter? It doesn’t look like they have it on the website yet

Chad Jones

Want to see the difference between paper and oil on quality go to “project farm” on YouTube and watch his test video on it

Falcor The Wonder Dog

Replaced plenty of aftermarket oiled filters because people don't maintain them. Dirty oiled filter causes all kinds of driveability issues.

Ron C

Definitely in the oiled camp! Just don't over oil and you'll be fine.

JackelNhyde sbc lover

Got oiled filters on my cars. I just wash them and lightly oil them when dry and reuse

joe snyder

I wish hsp would make piping for the cummins!

Ah…ha! Maybe this is why I keep popping a code for the MAF.. I have a K&N washable filter for my 2007 LBZ. Over and over I keeps popping the 101 code, even have replaced the MAF and the previous owner did as well 2 other times. This all started when he added the cold air intake and the oiled filter.

ian walsh

This did it for me, HSP has a new customer. Awesome video

RAHMX145

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe technically dry paper filters filter down to a finer micron level than an oiled foam filter. However, in dusty dirty conditions a dry paper filter will get plugged in no time where an oiled foam filter will be able to handle it much longer before getting plugged. Depends on the application would have been the short answer lol.

Kim Somerville

I’m an oiler , since 2001 no issues

HardWay1

Oiled s&b cold air intake on my powerstroke when I bought it. Swapped it out for a pusher cold air intake and sinister diesel dry filter. Awesome videos.

Jeff Scott

I see sooo many guys waste their money on these aftermarket air filters thinking they will get more power with them. They simply do not flow or give you any more power over stock. There are many studies that have been done to prove this. They will only benefit you if you have a highly modified engine putting out serious HP. The stock filter on my '06 LBZ has been dyno proven to have enough flow to support 550HP and it has superior filtration to anything HSP or any other brand has. I'll stick with stock as I'm tuned to 500WHP.

Great info! Thanks Josh! 👍🇺🇸

AFE stage 2. Wash dry. Reinstall Done. Looks like new for 3 years 👍

2007 chevy 2500 hd duramax and 2018 gmc deanali 3500 hd duramax
Have always had Oil filters on both!!

Tony Sims

I've had a Banks ram air for about three years now on my 2018 GMC 3500HD L5P and it has worked great. It is a oiled filter and I clean and recharge ever other oil change.

Jim Lobb

I've been running a Bank's oiled filter on my L5P since 18'.

put the pre filter on a dry filter ?

Olen Grimmett

I run oiled air filters in my semi and my 6.0! The paper air filters for my semi cost over $200 each and I have two of them. I’ve had these oiled filters for around 2 years with over 200k miles with them.

The way i look at it is I’m guessing these oil filters are similar to k and n style filters. Yes those do give you the most power. But as far a filtering power goes. They are horrible. Look at project farms comparison of various stock filters to k&n. The particle count is hugely higher (hence whats getting into your motor). If you want to truly protect your motor you would stick with stock intake but of course auto enthusiasts cant do that. If I’m not mistaken when oiled filters are made they use a different material that one holds the oil and two they use less material or pleats due the oil is supposed to do part of the filtering. I have used oiled filters before and never been too happy with them. I would wash them let them dry for 24 hours then add oil and would let it soak in slow, i would add very little oil. And then after driving on the street for less than 5k miles. There would be cakes built in it from the oil and junk. So for me, i now run dry filters with a sock. Best option i found.

I like oiled filters. S&B had the best recharge kit around. I ran theirs on my 2011 6.7 Cummins. I run plain Jane oem fikters in my LLY and LB7 with stock intakes.

RonJ CLM

So…the oilded filter element flows more freely with less fine mesh. Then you spray on the oil which catches smaller debris. Oil turns the element mucky and would clog more quickly imho. I'm not that easily swayed…at ALL. I do like the mesh prefilter bag. On my commercial lawnmowers we have paper filters and a foam pre filter. The paper one lasts a long time.

joey martin

We ran K&N on race car so I have run one form 1993 on every truck I’ve had. If you don’t over oil and allow it to tack up before you run it you should have no issues. I keep a paper filter to run while I clean the K&N . Wash it, let dry to cool he next day, oil it and let it set to the next day before I run it. Never had any sensors or turbo issues,

C McD08

Did they happen to mention if they have a specific type of oil they like to run when re-oiling these filters? Not seeing anything listed on their website and mine is about due for a cleaning/re-oiling.

I prefer dry.

Haskell Burks

Hello Josh. You sure do your research to bring information about different things to bring to all of the guys and girls who drive diesel trucks.

Daniel Kwiatkowski

I have never had a problem with the oiled filter. I have used them for over a dozen years, and never had a problem with over oil or contamination on the the MAF. I like having a filter that will last longer than once. Cleaning and re-oiling is simple.

Paul Benderavich

Running the Banks Ram air on both my LBZ and L5P. One is oiled, the other is dry. Didn't see a difference with either other than extra time to clean the oiled.

anton bueckert

Im thinking of an hsp intake for my lly I'd like more turbo sounds

I ran oil but not long enough to have clean and reoil. How much would u oil it? What's difference between them and K&N filter's

Bill Gunter

I use an oiled air filter on my 2019 Duramax and has held up well and always have a spare or two on my shelf. No MAF sensor issues so far. Thanks for the video and the shop tour.

Ronald Babbitt

Awesome! So much info! I've been using oil air intake filters for decades ! Chainsaws, Dirt bikes, Cars and My Duramax lmm GMC. Great video Truck Master 🛠⚒️⚒️🏁💯💨💨💨🤠 HSP Rules!!!💯🏁

Dave of All Trades

I was always told long time ago that those oil filters just allow more flow through them and intern more debris to get inside the motor and destroy it and to stay away from them. They only catch the bigger stuff the fine stuff goes right through the pleats and into your engine I personally don’t trust them I’ll stick with my paper wix imo.

Noah Staub

Was running a AFE oiled filter on my lml. Factory oiled. Ruined 2 maf sensors. Swapped to dry. No more issues. Again, factory oiled filter. I did not oil them myself. Not worth changing out maf sensors. Dry for me.

trucks_n_tractors_

My idea is aftermarket intake tube no aftermarket filter unless you’re getting up there into high horsepower the factory ones flow pretty dang good

Charles Swearengin

Josh, on my LMM apon purchase I bought a KLM oiled filter on the stock intake. I had issues from the word go with my MAF throwing a code , luckily I installed a Edge CTS 2 to clear the code. Even got to a point where I was covering with cardboard to restrict air flow somewhat. Then I purchased the HSP intake that turned into a major problem, couldn't go 300 yards and boom went a code, it was a dry filter and I purchased the dust screen because of a dry filter. I messaged HSP for help they thought maybe help, and they suggested I put the pipe in backwards, I didn't. Long story short I was getting way to much air and the sensor was throwing a code constantly. What I ended up doing was taking a Wal-Mart shopping bag rapping it around the filter taping to hold it in place restricting flow in half and that fixed it. I love the HSP because what ever the temperature is outside is the same going into the turbo! Not like the factory that picks up the engine heat when your traveling.

Doug Hamman

I have used oiled filters for 30 years. I have not had any problems. I have had the engine oil tested and it has not shown any contamination.

Ronnie Bray

@truckmaster you should go visit airdog lift pumps. Cause mine kepts blowing its power fuse and idk why. HELP ME PLEASE.

Travis Richards

What size are your wheels and tires on your red lbz . That’s exactly the stance I like and want 🙂

Shem Whitehead

I lean toward dry for the simple fact that you never have to worry about getting too much oil on your filter and foul up your MAF sensor.

Mark Lengal

Great video. I would have liked to see cleaning and oiling a filter. I never know if I’m doing it right
