Are Green an oiled filter or dry?

On some cars, an over-oiled filter can affect MAF sensor function, although I've not heard this to be a problem with our cars.

Personally, I question the value of aftermarket versus OEM. Every air intake system has its choke point, and looking at the intake on a C32, I suspect that the dual pleated filters offer more than enough volume; and the choke point is probably further downstream.

The Green filters are pre-oiled. They are very similar to K&N. Only difference is the type of cotton used. They still need to be cleaned and re-oiled for best performance.
