no, the traxxas oil works awesome its tacky af and doesn't let anything other than air in. Besides it doesn't matter, nitro cars also use foam filters
I used to use just k&n and i was able to see dirt on the other side of the filter
 
Because the nitro air filters have larger pores in the foam so the thick oil doesn't close them off completely like on gas that has smaller pores and the oil blocks them
 
Sorry couldnt help it....im seriously just joking 🙃 :LOL:..... but yes over saturation of a foam filter could possibly hinder the engine from getting the air it needs to burn the fuel
 
I used normal engine oil on the original hpi baja filter. and nothing happened to the engine. and he captured the dirt quite well :D
 
its really nowhere as good if your referring to this. I just put a quick squirt on the inside after using regular oil on the outside for a tad bit of extra protection. Not good for dusty conditions.

I really don't remember asking you for your opinion. I was just stating what I use.
