FAQ

What is air filter oil and why do I need it?
Air filter oil is a tacky, specially designed oil used to coat reusable cotton or foam air filters. It helps trap microscopic dirt and dust, preventing them from passing into your engine.

Which types of filters require oiling?
Most reusable cotton gauze (like K&N) and foam performance air filters require oil after cleaning. Paper and synthetic “dry” filters do not.

How do I apply air filter oil?
Clean and dry the filter first, then evenly apply the oil (spray or squeeze bottle) to the filter material. Allow it to wick in, and wipe off any excess. Always follow manufacturer instructions for your specific filter type.

How often should I re-oil my air filter?
Re-oil after every thorough cleaning of your reusable filter. The frequency depends on your driving environment—more frequent cleaning and oiling may be needed in dusty or off-road conditions.

Will using too much oil hurt my engine or sensors?
Yes—over-oiling can lead to excess oil entering your intake, which may affect MAF sensors or cause build-up. Use only as much oil as recommended and let it absorb before reinstalling the filter.

Can I use any oil on my air filter?
No. Only use oil specifically formulated for air filters—other types of oil may not offer adequate filtration or could damage the filter material.
