Re: '02 OB Air Filter?

#1

The factory air filter has only a very light misting of oil on the filter.
My Forester filter when removed does not have any oblivious oil on it or in
the housing. Get a new replacement and try again. If oil is excessive then
you may have a plugged crankcase vent problem. Blowing out the filter only
gets rid of the large stuff and does not clean the micron size holes which
protect the engine. Ed

I was servicing my '02 Outback today and when I blew out the air filter
it was wet with oil. Is this normal? Is the stock filter oiled like K&N?

The car has 20K miles.

Edward,
Thanks. I'm gonna try a dry one and see if it gets wet over the next couple of
hundred miles.
