I figured it out....lol

I am a bit special.

I installed a blackwing air filter last weekend and some of the oil has come out from this and is what dripped on the floor.

Admin, please feel free to delete this post. Thanks.

STOP!!!
 
I don't know what you have in the way of intake sensors, or if this filter is like a K&N, but if it is, and you have too much oil on the filter, it can cause serious problems with air mass filament sensors on many vehicles - and subsequent problems as well.

On my 98 GMC, it can cause tranny electric control problems from a misread air mass reading, which if left unresolved, can put the tranny into the limp mode, and with cranked up tranny hydraulic pressure, serious problems will quickly ensue.

As a comparable example, a brakelight bulb for new Volvos MUST BE SPEC, or the vehicle's computer will read erroneous voltage/resistance, then 'think' the brakes are on, and attempt to release the torque converter at the same time when it is locking up.

I have firsthand knowledge of this. Simple problems can cause serious problems...

Nope because I don't have one and have no intention of getting one.
