They are ready out of the box, but if you run with no lid, it's good to get the power up/cleaning kit that has the cleaner and oil to clean the filter every once in awhile.

I can't find it right now, but I have seen K&N literature that says to DOUBLE OIL FILTERS FOR OFF-ROAD! So, it is oiled once at the factory, and you need to oil it once again. And, always run an OUTERWEARS!

After I wash mine, I oil them once, let them sit overnight, then oil again and let them sit at least a couple of hours before installing. The only thing between all that dust and a ruined motor, is a little cotton gause, and that oil. Take no chances!

I bought a K&N Recharge Kit. It comes with air filter oil and an air filter cleaner.
