Foam air filter oil
#11
I'm not fan of that no toil filter oil either. It's way too expensive for one thing. One thing I've found to make application of filter oil clean and easy is to use a large zip lock bag. I put my filter in one and then pour in a couple of onces of filter oil. Zip lock the bag and then squeeze and pat the oil into the filter. It also applies the oil very uniformly. I don't waste any oil, I don't get it on my hands (no need for gloves) and I just zip it up when I'm done and save the baggie for the next time.You can get several uses out of one baggie because there is hardly any oil left on the inner walls of the baggie.

My first experience with changing my air filter (just under 3k miles) was to pull it out, look at it, and put it back in. I can't believe how clean it was, especially after a few very dusty day trips. Only had a very small (2x3") patch of light dust on the outside of it, which I blew off with an air hose. The underside looked like it came new. I guess the snorkel located under the seat lets in enough air, but somehow not very much dirt/dust.

I've mentioned this before, but a good way of making your clean filter last longer is using a prefilter. I use one of those white hair nets that they use in food plants. Oil that thing up with whatever you want, put it over your filter, throw it away when it starts to get a little dirty, thentand back and admire your still-clean filter. The airbox on the KLX is a biitch to fit them in, though. Works great on the motocrosser. I use Belray on the hairnet, and it makes the good stuff last longer.

I Googled Not Oil, but all I get are links to NoToil. What is it?

On my two-piece Uni, I oil the red outer filter too, and it does a lot to stop dust.
