Ill second that. When i put my new heat shield on it was clean as a whistle on the aluminium inside the filter

I'll 3rd that, when I swapped to the new shield there was no signs of oil on the aluminium :happy2:

I've been running an oiled ITG panel filter for nearly 50k miles. I discussed maintenance and the question of oil with Andy too and he completely satisfied me with his very helpful explanation.
However, in the case of the oiled ITG panel filter it does need either refurbishing or replacement after so many miles, he said. Refurbishing involves soaking in petrol etc IIRC and it all sounded too tedious for me with my limited skills and lack of equipment.
Is there any maintenance required for the oiled filter of the Maxogen intake reviewed?

iirc(steve correct me if im wrong) its as you say. I believe its every 20000miles Douse it in fuel(whilst smoking five cigarettes :scared:) massage it in allow fuel to evaporate, and the re-oil. That oil is disgusting though. Its really really thick and gets everywhere. but the filter sould last a long time
SteveP:
Yep 20k is suggested interval and petrol is one suggestion but other cleaning agents are available I believe, as Simon says then using a spray can that ITG can supply you just re-oil the filter. :happy2:
