Do I need two K & N Air fiilters?

SSSSE YA · 11-05-2008, 03:23 PM

I have a 07 CLS 63 and want to use the K & N filter, on some web sites it indicates two filters. Is this true? I am @ work and car is at home.
Thanks for the help.

I was told by the MB dealer that K&N airfilters can cause issues with our cars because of the oil that is on them. Not sure if that's true but I stayed away from them.

what type of filter would you suggest? and also will the K&N filter void the warranty if anything happens?
also what is the recommeded time for a filter change? i dont think i ever changed my filter since 07...

Old wives tale.

The factory oiled filter element do not pose a problem to the mass air flow sensors (stretched wires in the throttle body).

If you manual oil it after cleaning, must wait at least 24hrs for the oil to asorb fully into the paper element or else the excess may damage the throttle body wire sensors. (See K&N instructions)
