Back when I was a Nissan tech, we had a problem with the OEM oiled fiber filters fouling the MAF sensors. Whenever I had to install a new air filter, I'd take my air nozzle and blow the excess oil off first. They were flat, rectangular filters, so it was easy. With the round filters, you'll want to turn the air pressure down to 30 psi or so before trying to blow the oil off, with the nozzle inside blowing out.
The oil makes a fiber element far superior at filtering particles to a paper element. I much prefer oiled air filters. The old-school oil bath air cleaners were incredibly effective when kept serviced properly, but the oil/fiber filters are a better modern interpretation of that technology that requires less maintenance.
Everything. Late '90s. If I remember right, the same air filter was used on the full line-up: Maximas, Altimas, Sentras, later hard bodies, later Pathfinders, 240SXs, and Quests. I'd hold the filter over my trash can and blow it with the air nozzle, and there'd be a film of oil in the trash can.What was Nissan using oiled filters on?
