This is a '92 with the 4.0L, so it is fuel injected - even if it needs a heat pipe, etc, I still think I can modify the hose to accept any necessary hoses. >there are other conical filters other than K&N, including some that don't require the oil. >Supposedly (I haven't found any tests on the web yet) these non-oiled filters work better than >the K&N oiled filters. AEM Brute Force Intake Systems advertises as not needing oil. It's also the only one I've ever seen that offers one an intake system for the 2.5L YJ. I just assumed that not needing oil just meant easier maintenance. http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Parts-Tops-a...RT218304C.aspx |

My 88 Cherokee 4.0 has one... I thought they all did.
