K&N Air filter oil?

[edcop]

Is it okay to spray K&N air filter oil on your air filter after cleaning, will it hurt anything?

K&N recommends that you use it after cleaning the filter. The kit they sell will describe the cleaning procedure, I also posted it in your other thread: https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/gene...cs/150519-best-way-clean-k-n-air-filters.html

your supposed to spray it with the oil after cleaning. this helps to keep the dirt from entering the filter.

i will let it sit until tomorrow before i reinstall it just to make sure. lol

dood, OVER OILing is NOT recommended due to possible issues with the MAF sensor:

Grab some paper towels and pat dry all the excess oil. Best of luck, man. I really, really hope that you'll be one very happy camper after your dyno session

i over oiled my filter on my eclipse once. kept throwing codes after that. damage to the maf sensor. now i always use the tube, not the spray. i think its alot easier to not over do it.

the way the spray shoots out, its very easy to spray too much

Thanks, on the can it says nothing about over spraying, it just says to put on a liberal amount evenly.

Ya just,want an even red color, look em up online and try to match that color. Usually a few light coats will do it, just like painting.

and once it soaks in it will spread thats why they say to spray on each pleat then wait for 10-15 mins to soak in...any spots still white touch up.
