Hi ya echomx and welcome to our forum -
To figure out which one you have, I'd suggest you go on their web site and see if you can figure it out.
(see attached) It looks like if the filter is red, black or blue, it's a dry filter.
Is it a panel or cone type filter?
Most (non-oiled) dry, air filters look like a paper or cloth material filter. Most oiled filters look more like a close mesh screening.
DO NOT oil a dry filter (it will clog it up and restrict air flow).
An oiled type filter when NOT oiled will not effectively filter out harmful stuff.
