Haven't looked into them much, but Motoworks is the presenting sponsor this year for the WORCS Series.

So the announcers are talking them up to no end.....Maybe i'll go by the Motoworks truck and have a look at Round 3

If they filtered good I would be all over it! I hate oiling filters, such a pain! But it would probably only work for those with direct mount air filters...

Yes thats what I was thinking.Hard to believe since oil has been best for so long but they sure seem to think it does job.

Cool! I'd be in for one of those. The less time spent on maintenance and oiling supplies the better.

to be honest I never understood why oiling made that much of difference....oil er not it would be awfully hard for dirt to get through a filter....I know I'll prolly take some abuse for this comment but thats just my 2 cents...and yes...I do oil my filters.

Thats the only reason you oil filters...well only viable reason.

Oil is also sticky and can catch the stuff that is smaller than pores of filter.But I agree this is 2007 would think by now oil wouldnt be needed.

If it is paper like the K&N you still have to oil it. I wouldn't trust a filter that didn't have oil. Just asking for trouble.

Agreed. I'll stick w/UNI and No-Toil for now.
