motorjock205 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Since it appears that you have a Paxton S/C on your car, I'd suggest that you call them to see about availability of a replacement filter... •888-9-PAXTON (toll free) They can probably help you even though the filter is listed as a reusable air filter...

Orion Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Regarding stock part #M-9601-C, do these come pre-oiled? Or are they ready to be installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoChris Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Remember, these filters take blue oil. Not sure, but I think SB Filters makes a cleaning/oil kit?. Always surprised at car shows to see these filters red or gray (dry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always surprised at car shows to see these filters red or gray (dry). There is no need for surprise. It is ok to not oil the filter. All the oil does is help improve the efficiency of the filter in terms of trapping contaminants. An un oiled filter will actually be slightly more efficient at passing air and slightly less efficient at trapping contaminants. Some people also don’t like to oil the filter because of concerns about over oiling and fowling the MAF. Its is ok to oil and it is ok to not oil. note: I oil the Filter on my SGT, because I believe it is almost always best to follow the manufacturers recommendation.

ChicagoChris Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Agree, it's ok not to oil the filter because everyone can do what they wish-it's their car. If you don't mind your engine trapping contaminants, don't oil your filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I lighty rinse and wash mine and then I oil it, then leave it overnight to wick off any extra before reinstalling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Agree, it's ok not to oil the filter because everyone can do what they wish-it's their car. If you don't mind your engine trapping contaminants, don't oil your filter. The fact is every time you start your car you are sucking contaminants in to the intake whether it has a filter on the intake or not and whether it is oiled or not. Filter choices just determine what size the contaminants are and at what rate they are sucked in. Filtration efficiency vs air flow efficiency is typically a tradeoff. 90% of the dirt that gets past an air filter gets past it in the first 10% of its use and the filter becomes progressively more filtration efficient as it catches more and more dirt. Changing or cleaning an air filter too often can actually introduce more contamination in to your engine than leaving it on for the proper interval.

Orion Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Ford Performance says they are shipped oiled. Thanks. A few websites say the filter doesn't need to be cleaned until you can't see the actual filter, and the mesh is covered completely, like this page: http://www.knfilters.com/cleaning-pics.htm Mine currently looks better than the "not ready to be cleaned" photo. Should I just take it off and shake it, blow it out or wipe it? I can't seem to find any info on light maintenance, just full cleaning. I only drive about 4000-5000 miles a year and detail the engine with each wash, but just wipe around the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I wouldn't do what you are calling "light maintenance" because just shaking it or blowing the loose debris,dust contaminants, etc may dislodge them yet not completely remove all of them from the filter and when you re install the filter some of the contaminants will be sucked though the filter and in to the intake.Just because you blow the filter off to the point that you dont see any dirt doesn tmean it is clean. The average human can only detect objects down to about 40 micron. (For reference an average human hair is about 60 micron across), so just because the filter may look blown clean it doesn't mean it is clean. If you are going to clean the filter then clean it per the manufacturer's instructions and re-oil it. The re-oiling helps capture any loose contaminants that were dislodged during cleaning as well as help capture new contaminants from passing through the filter. Also someone mentioned that the Original filter is blue and a Steeds part. That is only partially accurate. The filter is actually made by S&B Filters, Steeda just puts their part number on it. The filter when cleaned is actually a whiteish grey color. On the Steeda site you will actually see that their recommended cleaning/oiling kit is a kit by S&B. The oil is blue on the OEM Filter. S&B actually makes a Blue oil and a Red Oil, It does not matter if you use the S&B Blue oil or the S&B Red oil, they are both the same except for the dye color.

Glenn Greenwell Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I am curious as to how often our forum members are either cleaning and/or replacing their filters on the Shelby GT. I am not a big fan of oiling the filters. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IASHELBYGT Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I think this Steeda part is a direct replacement for the SGT. I bought one on special last fall for under $50. Better than shelling out $69.99 imo. https://www.steeda.com/steeda-mustang-cone-filter-replacement-281-ste100.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I finally tired of trying to clean and oil my old, original air filter so, after hours of online shopping, found an almost-exact replacement. None of the sights listed the exact dimensions and several showed just one photo of the wrong shaped filter, so I went with CJ Pony Parts: https://www.cjponyparts.com/M9601C/p/M9601C/?utm_source=Pony&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=OrderConfirmation&lac_guid=4c392c57-c049-e911-8170-0050568938fc It's not the original silver/grey that mine was back when I bought my 2008 new, but it's the exact correct size. It also makes my engine look so much better with that blue color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
