OK guys and gals, I have the TRD air filter and have been doing some searching.....I was going to buy the cleaning kit, but wanted to hold off and get a few opinions on these.....are they worth the money?? do they help with increasing MPG?
I have seen where some people were having issues with the MAF sensors....is this from over oiling?? do you guys recommend another filter? stick to the generic OEM filters?
I dont know if I want to be sitting around trying to oil a filter, especially if there is no real benefit.......so keep the filter and buy the cleaning kit? screw the TRD filter and use the regular OEM filters with no oil needed OR Use another filter?
also how much oil do you guys put on these things? do you spray the oil on BOTH sides of the filters?
thanks for any advice or experience given..

Over-oiling is the most common mistake made when servicing oiled filters, and frequently fouls the MAF, resulting in a CEL and reduced performance. If you have a TRD intake, there are no "generic" filters - but it is made by AFE, so you can use the AFE Pro-Dry filter element from the AFE CAI, which requires no oiling ever. Just vacuum or wash it and reinstall it.
