Your Aem oil filter SHOULD be already oiled, Aem recently switched from using K&N filters to using their own filters.

so is their own filter as good as k&n or is there enough difference that i should buy a k&n??

Nice choice...I guess AEM is making their own brand of filter......but call them to make sure about the "oiling".....I know when I bought my AEM it came with a K7N and was already oiled....ready to install......good luck....
