Ford RangerMore than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.
rangerdanger,
you missed the point.
K&N filters are supposed to be oiled. The oil helps trap dirt from passing though the filter, but causes the filter to have to be cleaned and serviced. The problem as I understand it is that molecules of oil escape from the filter and adhere to the wire in the MAF sensor that determines the air density. Fuel injector pulse width is modulated/modified by the PCM based in part by the info it obtains from the MAF. Oil accumulation on the wire causes a faulty signal from the MAF to the PCM, and alters the fuel air ratio, causing poor performance, and poor gas mileage.
That's my understanding... I have been wrong before.
