I just bought a TRD filter. What is this oil base grease?

    Isn’t it an oil-based air filter?

    Looks like the TRD filter is oiled... there are two main filter types, wet and dry. Some say the oiled filters trap smaller particles being “wet” and the oil helps from tearing and prolonging the life after many cleanings. K&N are wet filters that are supposed to be oiled after you clean and dry them. And then filters like Fram are usually dry filters.
