Q: Do Pipercross air filters or intake kits prompt a check engine light or service light to come on?
The only time you may experience a check engine light/service light is due to improper installation or issues with your vehicles mass airflow sensor (MAF). We meticulously check and engineer all of our products to run in harmony with your vehicle to ensure a seamless transition to your Pipercross performance filter.
Q: Can an oiled Pipercross filter cause my vehicle’s mass airflow sensor to become damaged or fail?
From new, each oiled Pipercross filter is guaranteed to be oiled perfectly to avoid damage to your vehicles MAF sensor, however when it comes time to service and clean your filter, ensure you do not over-oil your filter as this will significantly increase the chance of contaminating your vehicles MAF sensor, potentially leading to failure. By correctly following our filter cleaning instructions you will be assured problem free motoring for many years to come.
