The Seasider Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I have spent the last two nights on google trying to locate either some original JWT blue filter oil or even an appropriate generic blue filter oil. Nothing. K&N easy. JWT nowhere. I understand the K&N oil would do the job but it is red and apparently makes the lovely blue filter go a nondescript colour. It's just i am about to service the 350 and the pop charger is in serious need of a clean. Does anyone either know where I can get a supply or, if they have a spare bottle kicking about - let me have it for a small fee? Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I use K&N oil for my JWT, tbh, as long as the oil does the job, does it matter what colour it makes the filter? Quote

Bloody right it matters what colour it is - I want it to match the car and my eyes Good tip on the piper cross oil - thanks for that D Block Quote
stubzie83 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 The jwt filter is white ish once the old oil has been cleaned out. So if you want to keep it blue then you need blue oil. K&N makes it go red and then after a while it fades and goes a brown/purple sort of colour. At least mine did. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 have you tried contacting american sites? or tried tarmac at tarmac sportz, he tends to be able to get most things in from the states, and he is a JWT distributor, so may have links with JWT and can get their oil. Quote
The Seasider Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 I've ordered the piper cross stuff for now - to get the job done - but, I had seen Tarmac Sportz's name mentioned in Google, so I may try him next time. Thanks for everyone's input. Quote
The Seasider Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Gave the popcharger a good clean and a re-oil last week and whilst I was at it, I cleaned the MAF meter / sensor as well with CRC - what a difference. Unfortunately because I did both jobs together I cannot be sure which action provided the greatest gain, but the sum of the parts was a fairly impressive hike in performance which following the recent change of plugs has turned old Z into a bit of a lairy beast again.

lovie Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Hello Seasider, Can I ask what CRC is and was it much of a job to clean MAF sensor / sender? Also have JWT filters so found this post very helpful thanks. Cheers Lovie. Quote

There still seems to be plenty left, so you're welcome to borrow it. Quote

Cheers Lovie. Thanks morgs, thoroughly decent of you, perhaps catch up for chat at next meet? Will obviously pay for it. Tried to pm you to avoid jacking this thread but I was informeed you cant receive any new messages. Sorry to Seasider for intruding on his thread. lovie, if you haven't bought cleaner yet, don't!

I'm not technical or mechanically minded but I read a few write ups and got right on with it! Not that tricky with the pop charger - could be a bit more involved with the standard airbox. Quote

lovie Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Great, thanks Bullet, new filter elements are £130 so it's cleaning the old ones for me. Quote
