Have a oiled filter that came w/the truck, drops in the stock box. I have washed it w/soap and water, now what do I oil it with?

The filter kinda looks like honeycombed foam.

 

Don't mean to me a smart A????, but really, throw it away and get a paper or one of the "Non-Oiled' type filters. If you're driving around with the filter as is, be aware that you're probably not getting any filtration. This sounda like you have mabye a K&N which requires a special cleaner and oil. The Reoiling Kits for K&N are sold by any parts store that sells K&N. Lots of threads on these type filters not being good for diesels.

 

I do have a paper filter in there presently. I dont think its a k/n, I would imagine they would have their name on it somewhere.

With that being said, what do you guys think I should use?

 

Stick with paper until you decide if you are going to upgrade to an aftermarket intake or just stay stock- in which case paper is fine, and also economical.

 

I already have the filter, so if it offers some kind of benefit, I should use it right?

My question is what kind of oil are people using on their oil filters.

 

anyone!!!

What kind of oil are you guys putting in your oiled drop in air filters?

 

I would agree with everyone else....ditch that oiled filter... Genos garage sells stock replacement filter along with hi-flow dry filters...I would stick with the stock filter unless you have other engine mods,,,
