Air filter advice

[John117]

Just curious as whether oil red outer foam and use outerwear on top or just oil black inside filter?

 

[KevTrem]

Just oil the inner fella, that's what I do with mine.

I meant to put up a thread about this... I've been cooking my exhaust couplers on the baja and I was thinking, maybe I am oiling my filter too much. I spray both sides and soak in ziplock. The pre-filter is always greasy. Think I'm choking the engine?

 

[Phill2]

I oil the outer only and use an outerwear with no problems
The oil makes it's way to the inner anyway.

Your supposed to oil the filter liberally and then squeeze the excess out, that's the proper way.

Ah another what to oil debate. I oil both, In a zip lock bag, then toss a outterwears on. Never can have too much protection.

Exhaust couplers were put on this earth for one reason. To be replaced. The materials they are made out of art really made for the application we use them for. High heat and slobbered with splooge oil from running high oil ratios. Don't get too worked up about it and keep a spare on hand. If the engine runs good, I doubt your over oiling the filter.

Hi,

I recommend the spyder competiton filters: Oil free and low maintenance. And work great!

Those silicone couplers are just silicone coolant hose cut to lengths and called exhaust couplers as well. Seeing lengths of them on the peterbilts I work on is common and they don't even last long holding back 210 degrees in the cooling system. Seans right make the best of it while it lasts and just keep some on hand
