View Full Version : CAI with Oil in it

When I rolled my car, it was upside-down for at least 30 minutes and most of the engine oil crept up to the top of the engine. I removed the CAI yesterday to find that it was soaked with oil, as it had leaked out through the throttle body. It's a K&N filter and I'm wondering if the K&N recharge kit will clean this out? Otherwise, I guess I'll need a new filter.

On the bright side, I manually cranked my engine, the oil returned to the bottom end and after adding a bit more, turned over perfectly.

Ok I called K&N and they answer my question.
For anybody interested, the recharge kit takes care of EVERYTHING.
I'm dropping the CAI in the Buick tomorrow.
