Uhmm .. this setup only requires taking it off an cleaning (maybe once or twice a month depending on driving conditions) in which I blow it out with forced air and clean with water !!! There is no mention about using oils with this kit.
Finished a couple of improvements ...

Pretty spendy on an exhaust...but you really get what you pay for
That would be a BIG YES ...
I have noticed the performance/gas difference since adding the exhaust .. however, the CAI also plays a part in that to.
The next thing I will be looking at is the BlackBear Tune.

thats interesting, you have a link to that CAI kit? I have never heard of a K&N kit that didn't require oil. I was a huge K&N fan my whole life, always had the filter charger kits...
oh yuea and dont wait on that BB Tune, you cannot imagine how happy you will be afterwords

hmmm, i was trying to find where it says it doesn't require oil like the other K&N products. Please read all the service manuals that came with your kit to be certain, i would hate to hear of someone doing large amounts of damage to their truck.
Also, when you finally get your BB tune, you are going to wonder why you waited so long

Some of the new AEMs don't require an oil recharge either, they are "dry filters".
K&N States
4. K&N suggests checking the Air Filter element
periodically for excessive dirt build-up.
When the element becomes covered in dirt
(or once a year), service it according to the
instructions on the Recharger service kit, part
number 99-5050 or 99-5000.
According to that is does need oiled.

The recharger kit is an oil kit.
