Do you have to oil this filter before installing? Does the oil come with the filter or buy separately?

When new, filter is sealed in cellophane and is already oiled. There is no additional oil that comes with the filter.

No you don't as you have just purchased it. When it's time to clean it after it's first use then you oil it. The oil is bought separately. I recommend that you purchase the maintenance kit and this will have oil included, as for now you don't have to oil it at first installation.

No. Filter is already oiled by manufacturer. You will need to purchase a re-oil kit for maintaing filter quality.

It comes oiled already, but you will have to buy oil the first time you clean it

They say you are suppose to change your oil every 3000 miles. you prob can go a bit longer with this filter and oil only if it is not hard driveing.

No need to pull the filter off before you put this on. After you change your fluids, replace the filter (chrome or black) THEN put the passive cooler on. After you put it on and ride for a bit, make sure it is still in place, as mine slid over an inch or so. It did not come off, but it did slide over a bit. Makes a nominal difference in the oil temp.

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

Great purchase! Yes it does. I bought the oil just in case, but don't think I needed it. I topped it off just in case, but I think that hindered the operation. I would suggest using it as it comes, but I don't know how often an oil change is require. I had to buy longer bolts to install, but I got the bolts from lowest for a couple bucks. Just be ready for that.

It comes with a filter. You will have to replace it after a long period of use, but the cost is minimal.

No, it comes without oil. You will have to pick it up at your local auto parts store.

True justiceThe kit I ordeted was with a red filter. With that being said, mine was oiled. When I cleaned it, I used a k&n; filter cleaning kit which comes with oil to reapply. I had no issues with this kit at all. If it is a big issue, you can always call s&b; direct, provide them with the part number, and ask if it is. As always, I reccomend purchasing from Amazon. It is generally cheaper.

It does not come with a container or filter in the drain tube. Its a pretty slick design. I set the unit on the side of the sink and my container in the sink and drain the oil through a strainer. After cleaning the unit, I pour the oil back into the unit and store until the next time. I'll dump the oil after the second or third use.

Yes - you definitely need the filter. They can be cleaned, or a new one can be purchased from Amazon for $11. I'm happy with the unit; haven't had any leaks since I sealed the gasket with Vaseline and ensure that it is closed tightly.

Filter is included. We turned it over each time we filled the tank and the filter lasted all last winter.

We'll who is correct , is this filter pre oiled or not? Apparently amazon don't care to share share this important info.

I think you have to order it separately, and I also think there are other oils that can be used - I have a different model/brand (name escapes me at the moment) and the oils came with it.
