    The point of the oil is to catch dust. If you don't oil it then it's pointless. So yes, you MUST oil your filter in order for it to work effectively.

    Good video. I Use Fab 1 air filter oil. Pretty good stuff, also I take grease and rub some around the edges of the air filter to really get a good seal from a lot of the air coming through the edges bringing in dirt and other particles.

    Your filters are the bomb! I installed one of your 4" "go kart" filters on my B&S lawnmower engine. It catches quite the dust. Otherwise I would be replacing those paper filters every 10 hours or so. This filter sells for the same price as the replacement paper elements.
    I initially used K&N oil. I gave it a dunk in my parts washer filled with kerosene and the dirt fell right off.
    The next time I oiled it by mixing up some kerosene and automatic transmission oil at a 50/50 ratio, gave it a dunk and let it drain off. This seems to work just as well.

    UNI is MUCH better for dust,dirt etc. K&N style filters provide a little more air flow but filter much less. Generally it is not a good idea to use a K&N on any off road application, Foam is the way to go .

    Can you say "Over Oiled"? After putting that much oil in them you need to take a rolling pin to them, then blot the rest of the excess in a towel. That's just plain ridiculous.

      @billwilliamson9842 Рік тому

      @@larrychick154 it never stops drippin off either. I thought i had really worked the excess oil out of mine, but within no time the little moisture trap on the bottom of the air box was full and it wasn't from blow by or anything like that. Now this is a minor nuisance but the filter lost most of the oil in no time and was thereby useless. the filter felt dry to the touch, not even greasy at all.

    Seriously you could spray the oil yourself. Get your hands dirty. Get some oil on the bottle. Cowboy up.
