Guys, now that I've decided to do without the K&N which I had been running for 9 months, should I try and clean theMAF to remove whatever oil got on it, or are these things better left alone.

I'd hate to play safe and get bitten on the nose.

By the way Newf....Tried that e-mail address of yours after writting a 3 paragraphs letter, and got the undeliverable message which caused me to loose it all. Don't mean to start with the newfie jokes there, but you're kind of asking for it

 

I wouldn't touch it. With as sensitive as the Bosch MAF's are, you are playing with fire there...I'll bet Newf will tell you to clean it, though.....

 

Stay away from your MAF, cleaning it is a death sentence for a Bosch MAF.

 

10-4 on leaving it alone. I thought I had red that somewhere and that'swhy I asked.

Thank you much.

 

What is this?...pick on the poor Newfie day? Darover,go ahead and try my email again,seems like I had my modem plugged into my Lobster trap by mistake!It's all good now. I hear Royal Purple is good for cleaning MAF sensors!.....and greasing up the family pig! LOL!!!

 

Ya, just tried baby oil and now the truck is acting funny[8D]

I'm all outa time now, but will contact you soon.

 

Makes sense.The airflow with the K&N is slightly higher than with the stock filter. More airflow means more fuel flow to maintain optimalF/A mixture.

why would you use any kind of oil? isn't it the oil on the k&n filter that damages the MAF to begin with?

 

Holy macro batman. Never thought someone wouldn't see the humor in all this. Yo everyone!!!! Do not use oil to clean the maf...We were kidding

Sorry if We misled anyone.
