 | Not if it's new in the box. Comes pre-oiled.

| Yeh they are preoiled. You need to reoil it after properly cleaning the filter thr oil is what helps the filter work better and keeps the dirt from being imbeded into the filter so it can be cleaned and reused again and again |

| post cleaning yea i have oiled mine after the washing, actually the whole kit seems like a crock, all the oil does or seems to do is turn the filter back to that k& purple. however i'm sure that the oil serves its purpose |
