They are a oiled filter (at least for 4wds) so not good for our cars.

Didn't realize that is an oiled filter, however I did email them and asked them to confirm.

I would never use an oiled filter. I run a AFE Dry filter on my Grand Cherokee and it has been great.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Much appreciated.

Hope to pick up my new (second hand) Sport tomorrow afternoon

Cheers, Craig

I just followed the link you put up and looked at the offroad filters.

In there it says

"BMC air filters are also designed and produced to ensure a higher air flow than OE filters, producing less than half the pressure drop when compared to paper filters. BMC air filters allow more air into the engine, while providing better protection.

As cotton is a natural material which can be reused several times the filter can be washed with a special detergent then re-oiled, saving the cost of changing the air filter each time the vehicle is serviced. The filter can even be cleaned and regenerated in the outback, with the handy aerosol service kit. BMC air filters have a general lifespan equal to that of the vehicle."
