Maintenance on Armaspeed air filter

Hey guys I have just installed the Carbon Armaspeed cold air intake on my g80 as i bought from someone I didn’t get the book , but to question is how to clean the filter ? Do they require oil as i know these days a lot of them are dry filters just requires a blower to clean the dust , but some need to be washed then oiled , does anyone know ,

Also has anyone had cold air installed and under service pack at dealership do they clean the filters for you when its in for a service ??

Thanks in advance

I had MST intakes on my last g80 m3. Dealer didn’t care. And they didn’t clean them.

But one time during an oil change the mechanic who was doing my oil changed logged into bmws system that I had them.

They had not done that before. This means if I had an issue, they could attempt to use the intakes as an easy out. I know they can’t just blame a part without proof.

But we all know most dealers will try everything they can to deny warranty work.

You gotta pay to play. I get that. But I thought it was petty of the mechanic to actually log them into the system.

Usually they’d do that if you did have a problem. I had zero issues. I was just getting an oil change.
