 |
|
I was just about to mount my FAB for what I hope is the last time, and noticed on the air filter it says "oil before using". Â What does this mean? Â Am I supposed to actually soak the filter with oil? Â What kind of oil?
Reminds me of my old, old VW beetle that used a straw-like material soaked with oil to filter the air.

Tom, order some K&N oil from vans, page 17 of the catalog. It's called a "Recharge Kit.".

Or buy it at well-stocked auto parts stores.

From Aircraft Spruce
K&N RECHARGER® FILTER
SERVICE KIT
[img]cid:part1.06060707.01040507(at)newwavecomm.net[/img]
P/N 08-00722 $10.25 [img]cid:part2.00020608.01090901(at)newwavecomm.net[/img] [img]cid:part3.03090307.04030309(at)newwavecomm.net[/img]
K&N FilterChargers® use a specially formulated oil to attract and suspend dirt to the cotton-gauze filtration surface. Over time, dirt accumulates on the filter and airflow can be reduced. This is where the K&N ReCharger® Filter Care Service Kit comes to the rescue. Included are a cleaning solution and dirt-attracting oil, both of which are formulated specifically for K&N's cotton-gauze filter media.

Also, do not "soak" the filter or you will have oil dripping out it into your bottom cowl for weeks. Apply the oil sparingly to all the folds and let it penetrate for awhile, then check for bare spots and go over them again. You can get the K&N oil in a spray can at most automotive supply stores and that makes it much easier to coat the element thoroughly without over doing it. Just a tip learned the hard way.

Check out the K&N website for info on how to oil and also clean the filter. Most Auto parts houses will have the oil from K&N for a much better price than /Van’s .

Thanks for the info. I just bought the K&N recharge kit at Checker Auto parts for $12.
