oo.. if its an oiled filter, yea those throw CELs. The oil messes with the MAF sensor. You might need to go buy some MAF sensor cleaner. but try just removing the filter first

There's actual MAF cleaner? lol After that, I'll probably spray the TB as well.. I do that every once in a while to keep everything legit..

EDIT: no I dont know how big it is exactly, but not too big, if you search for it someone proly measured it somewhere. Or you could just solve the math problem of: how big would a cylinder have to be if it was twice as tall as it was in diameter in order to hold 250cc oil, shouldnt be too hard

not trying to be lol

thanks.

i was searching small catch can, i searched mini catch can after looking at your link found this looks cool too...

My K&N oiled filter has never thrown a code, and that's after reoiling and everything.

I've heard of using alcohol for cleaning the maf sensor, be very careful when handling it and cleaning however.

it has to be over oiled to throw a code. but yes, be VERY delicate with the MAF

Would the K&N throw a particular code? I'm going to go back to the hose and convert to CAI in a few days.. I guess I'll leave the K&N on and just clean the sensor.. Try plan A first..
