It seems pretty obvious, but just to be sure, what are all the other (thrifty) KLRistas using to oil their air filters? Roger

Thrifty = Cheapass right ? Chainsaw bar oil !! Tacky as it gets and its something I normally have available. Wash filter in warm/hot water with laundry soap and allow to dry, then stick filter in zip-lock bag, pour a little (maybe 1/2 oz) on and wring it around in the bag until filter is covered really good, typically I wring the freshly oiled filter out in a couple paper towels to get excessive oil off it and ta-da. I do not have a (K)rappy & (N)ogood filter, just a OEM since I prefer to wear out a motor the old fashion way by high miles, not dust/dirt ingestion. I have heard good things about "Notoil" (sp ?) as in easily washed out, but have never used it, and believe you gotta start with a new unoiled filter to use it however. Dooden A15 Greeen Ape

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Dooden, Roger, I use No Toil with a No Toil filter. I've also seen it used on an OEM filter and a UNI filter. I don't know for sure but believe it should not be used with a K&N filter. The No Toil is effective on my bike for my riding conditions and environment as proven with oil analysis on numerous reports. It is easy to use (with the No Toil cleaner), environmentally friendly and long lasting. No Toil oil will not wash out with petroleum products. You can buy No Toil under three labels, Honda, Kawasaki or No Toil. Containers are the same but the labels are different.

10/40, A few drops left over after pouring it in the engine alternative to K&N air filter oil Posted by: "bali_blu" bali_blu@... bali_blu Fri Sep 11, 2009 9:37 pm (PDT) It seems pretty obvious, but just to be sure, what are all the other (thrifty) KLRistas using to oil their air filters? Roger

I am as cheap as the next guy, but is there a possibility that the K&N oil doesn't have all of the additives that are put in motor oil, and could those additives harm the pleated filter media in the air filter?

I dunno, but I think the discussion was about what oil to use in filters other than K&Ns, which would be foam filters, thus no pleated media. I had always used motor oil or K&N oil in foam filters, because I was likely to have either on hand. Now NoToil is my first pick, but if I need to oil a filter somewhere in BFE, and motor oil is all I have, motor oil is what I will use.

Spend the $25 for a NoToil cleaning & oiling kit and two NoToil filters. Your engine will thank you with many miles of trouble free service and low oil consumption. I'm still using Notoil kit and filters bought in 2003? Or not and wonder why the KLR engine is using so much oil. And why then rings and cylinder wall are torn up and passing oil after riding in remote or dusty locales. This is definitely not the place to cheap out unless you A) like rebuilding engines or B) have a cheap source of KLRs and engines. Just my observation over the years. Jeff Jones can update you with how much oil his KLR was using coming back to the US from a Mexico play trip several years ago. Jim [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

You need to wring the oil out real well. I have an OEM and a UNI filter. If I don t wring them out well enough when I oil them I find oil on the floor the next morning. Freaked me out the first time but I couldn't find it. Second time I used the K&N oil which is as red as Marvel Mystery oil. Next morning I had a big red spot, then I knew what had happened the last time. Now I have a #10 tomato can, big restaurant sized tin can about 8 inches across and 10 deep. I put a piece of gutter screen in the bottom so anything in it sits 1/2" off the bottom. Whenever I clean and oil filters, I do three at the same time, I toss them in there over night to let any oil I didn t squeeze out drain. I used K&N last time to use it up. I had been planning to use 10/40 but may try the No Toil. I live near a Kawasaki shop so I can pop in and buy the Kawi brand. I don t care about the price as much as do the time it takes to do it so the No Toil sounds like a good choice. Still I at least know 10/40 works fine for my 80% street From: Jokerloco9@...
