Yeah i was thinking those K&N should take 50k miles before you oil and clean them.

I clean mine every 12 to 15k miles... why not? Its good for the car.

Update us what causes your Z to do that. Definitely not the K&N, I was thinking your MAF sensor must not be working well.

Man my car its a 2013 and i buy it from new im the first owner soo i know everything about him... Anyway I think the same bro!! i can believe the problem was the K&N Drop Ins filters... maybe is bad MAF sensors or something bad with the ECU cause if i disconnect the battery and connect the battery again the car run perfect with no issues but then the problem still come.... :confused: i keep you guys updated with this...

I still think a good MAF cleaning then ecu reset will help. Don't start thinking like the way I do about my beater DD! I just sunk the last $400 into it, no more. If something else starts to go out, the bastard is getting dual stage 300 hit of naaawwwwwwzzzzz till something explodes :roflpuke2:

sorry to hear about the hassles, carlitos. but this started after installing the hps post-maf tubes and k&n drop ins, correct?

as others mentioned, it could be the maf sensors are dirty. ive not had issues on my cars (like *many* cars using kn drop ins
and cones) but they are notorious for causing oil to get onto the sensor.

as for the post-maf... im not sure. mine works fine and have been running it
for like 3yrs now with no issue. :D maybe your hose is loose or
elbow cracked or something as seen on those stillen gen3 intakes...?
