just wondering if i can use air filters that have a small amount of oil in them. my owners manuel says to use only dry fliters. but then why would they make them for the car then?

as long as the filter is lightly oiled you have nothing to worry about.

as long as you dont saturate it with oil when you clean and recharge it.
