Need advice please

Hey I need some input on 2 things. My first question is about what is the best grease to use when it comes to greasin up the bushings and doors? What would y'all recommend??? Reason for this is cause today I was greasin up my bushings and it was a pain doin it so often. I said there has to be a long lasting grease I can get to avoid me from makin so many trips under the car lol... My second question is CAI, K&N or AEM??? I'm hearin mixed reviews on them both but I wanna know which one I should get. I got me a 2001 Acura EL(U.S. EX) automatic... yes I know... But which route should I go???

if your lazy get the AEM it requires no oil . k&n i dont like because if you over oil it can get on sensors . but oiled foam will filter the best like weapon r. i personally use AEM i love it.

Re: Need advice please

honestly i wouldn't spend that much money for a AEM V2 thats not really going to give you any hp gains . get a ebay pipe and put a AEM filter on it.

Re: Need advice please

I use white lithium spray grease for doors. I'm not 100% sure what to use on bushings. As for an intake I agree with lowlife, I'd go with an Ebay kit and buy the AEM dryflow filter and stick it on. Just make sure the diameter is the same, otherwise you can have a pretty frustrating time!!!
