JCS, why are you selling your BMC filter?

I went with a friend a few times. He no longer is interested since he had a problem about it with his wife. You know how it is when they get their heads together . So now neither of us goes anymore and I certainly will not use it for every day driving .

The BMC filter comes pre oiled, ready to go .
If you want to be on the safe side, place it on a newspaper overnight to drain off any possible excess oil.
But the BMC in that respect was perfect ( No air flow sensor problems ).

I've used k&n's abd bmc's in my 996 and boxsters. never had a problem. i throw them away rather than re-use them. Less worry than re-oiling

JCS, is your filter for a 996 or 997?
Bob/ft.worth, these filters are easy to clean and will last a lifetime. Don't throw them away....or.....if you want send them to me!
When you re-oil the filter a very lite mist is all it takes. If you feel you are under-oiling it you probably oiled it correctly.
