How often are you/do you re oil ur air filter?

[Z.hb71]

Because I'm new here ? but seriously, when I actually had a running engine, I re oilded not very often. So I'm really not trying to have my engine suck up dirt like a vacuum cleaner so if you could let me know I'd appreciate it.

Every three runs wash and re oil depends on run conditions super dusty would need more
Thats what i do

I do about like mark.... when I think it needs it. May be even should clean it more often.

Oiled filters are great, I ran my 5ive-T about an hour in a really dusty quarry until the motor couldn't do more than idle due to lack of air.

I now run the 5ive-B that doesn't kick dirt inside the car like there's no tomorrow and haven't cleaned the filter so far this year. I have a prefilter on it also now and so far the oiled filter has worked as intended.

Whenever I think it needs it....and probably not as often as I should....

I have 2 filter sets for my cars.
When its time to change filters I install the extra filter.
I wash, dry, and re-oil the dirty filter I took off the truck then store it in a ziplock bag until its time to change filters again. This way, I don't have down time waiting for a filter to dry or come in the mail or have to make an emergancy trip to the LHS to buy one.

That's exactly the system I have??

Well I roughly remember how often I used to re oil my old filter, I re oiled it twice in the 6 months that engine lasted, I did have a outerwear on it. Oh and that engine didn't fail cuz of that, it failed because the cylinder skirt blew apart into the engine a screwed everything up, but I'm now gunna (based on what you guys say), with the new engine and filter, Gunna oil it every 3-4 runs based on the running conditions. Thanks all!

Cleaning a filter more often will never be bad thing ??

Yep, just will run out of oil faster, but small price to pay for engine protection ???

 

[DougStar]

just will run out of oil faster,

don't need very much oil only a coulple ml's in a sandwich bag put your fliter in and work in the oil?

I keep extra filters on hand & put in a freshly cleaned & oiled air filter every time I run. It is just part of my prep for getting my rigs ready to run. I charge battery & just change air filters every time I charge batteries.

It depends if you run on dirt or grass.
I bash on grass, very little if any dirt.
I clean mine about every ten 45 minute runs.
After cleaning I put three drops of Bel Ray Foam filter oil in a freezer bag and drop in the filter.
Thats all you need do not over oil.
