My friend just put an (AEM?) intake on his integra. I looked at it and the first thing that I noticed was that it's dry. I asked him if he oiled it and he said that he didn't know that he had to do that. Are all intake air filters supposed to be oiled?

 

if it is aem it would have come pre oiled. most cheap ones or a few other brands dont

 

You can always buy a cleaning kit from AEM and oil it yourself!
