AFE CAI Filter Turning White! I have an answer!

[RichiRich]

FYI -

I just spoke with Michael at AFE. For those of us that live on or near the coast, because of the salt that may be in the air, this will interact with their Blue Dye and fade it too white. I thought that something may be wrong but he stated that this was normal. He also said not to change/re-oil until 30k have been put on it.

I hope this helps for anyone that it may affect.

Cool! Bav Auto.....As you prob already were thinking! As Michael said, when re-oiling..be conservative and do not over oil. May light up one of the sensors......(FYI)
