I have a CAI brand cold air filter on my '12 SS, and I did not do the install. I'm used to old school muscle cars w/ carbs/air filters and as such have no idea what's required here.

It should be an oiled filter. I don't believe CAI offers a dry filter.

In most cases this is correct, but some companies offer oil filters that come in different colors.
