bfa Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The manufacturer (Montesa) recommends using motor oil for the air filter. Does anyone use air filter oil products like No Toil or Motorex? Is this a good/ bad idea? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyoldiron Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Hi.I use,I think,Pro Filter,which is and stays extremely thick and sticky,most unlike engine oil.Also it stays in the sponge and doesn,t sink to the lowest point of the filter.Ideally I would not use engine oil as it does not have these characteristics.Montesa obviously have their reasons for using engine oil,maybe they are changing it every hour.I imagine most filter gloop is similarly thick and sticky.I think they are a good idea.Its the oil in the sponge that is the filter,not the sponge-thats only a vehicle for the sticky 'oil',so,I reckon,why use engine oil in an air filter. All the best Edited August 24, 2009 by anyoldiron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
