I have dual dellortos with CB air cleaners and linkage. Are the filter elements supposed to be oiled to trap the dirt particles?? Or are they supposed to be used dry?

Most of the problems I have heard of were on Boxsters. Not sure it translated to the early/mid '90's 911 though... I personally had to repeatedly clean the MAF and replaced it once on my Boxster due to my K&N. I finally took it off. |
