This video is still helping out people to this day 👍🏼 thanks guys
Great video. Short and informative. Could I use any oil to re-oil?
I would very much like to know this aswell, mine is ridiculously dirty and i need to see if this is what is causing my 350z to feel a bit sluggish sadly the only thing i have readily available is the K&N recharge kit from my old drop in K&N filter from before i upgraded to mishimoto
Please let me know if you find anything out 🙏🏻
Yes, any re-oil kit should do the job so if all you can get ahold of is the K&N kit you should not have any issues
Will the oil contaminate the mass air flow sensor and cause a check engine light?
As long as the filter isn't dripping with oil when it is re-installed, you shouldn't have any isues.
It does cause 1
I have a MMAI-CIV-16RD. I looked at the product page on the mishimoto website but can't find the amount of oil needed. Where can I find this information?
There isn't a pre-defined amount. Make sure there is an even coating and it's not dripping off the filter element and you shouldn't have any issues.
It says 43g for my air filter. How do I know how much to fill the applicator with? Which notch on the bottle is the right one?
The applicator bottle should have values on the side, however you will simply want to make sure that the filter is evenly coated.
My filter for my 2018 accord requires 38 grams.. seems like my filter is well oiled with about 2 passes on the filter. It is not drenched but doesn't have any light spots. Is using the whole 38 grams necessary?
It is not. As long as all of the filtering material is covered with oil and the filter is not dripping, you should have no issues.
@@mishimoto okay cool thanks for the response! I got an email saying you guys are testing a mishimoto intercooler for the 10th gen accord! 🙌🏼 cannot wait to see the end result!
What is the part number of the two funny shaped filters at the back?
The part number for these filters will be MMAF-38672, the site will show two of these, one is an oiled filter ending in S while the other one is dry ending is SDW.
Hi i have a 2018 honda civic type r and have mishimoto air filter...but i don't know if its a dry filter or a oiled filter ...can somebody help??

hi not sure if you guys will see this comment but i have your CAI for my brz and ive been running a p0171 code for a while. my filter is quite dirty so could that be confusing the ecu and throwing the code? thanks in advance!
It's possible. We suggest cleaning the intake every 10-15k miles depending on how you drive and where you are located.
@@mishimoto cool thanks! so glad you responded since this video is a couple years old😂
I bought a WRX with a mishi intake on it airway how would i know if it's an oil'd filter or more
All our intakes for the WRX will use a oiled filter. If our M logo is on the end and it is red it is the original oiled filter.
@@mishimoto what if it has a M and is grey.
@@Lyinglemure did you ever figure out what to do? I bought one used as well and it was grey
@@vulpineserpent8779 no oil
@@Lyinglemure no oil if it’s gray?
how often should you clean the filter?
Every 10-15k miles depending on how it's used and the climate you are driving in.
@@mishimoto Another Question, So Regarding storage, i store my car in the winter, how should i store the filter? should i clean it dry it and store it in the house or leave it on the car? Really cold winters
What alternative cleaning solutions could I use? Will something like dish soap harm the filter?
We would not suggest using dish soap on this application.
How often do I need to clean up my filter ?
It is recommended that the filter be cleaned every 10,000 miles. However depending on your environment and conditions this might be needed sooner.
