i have have searched but just need a yes or no

basically ive just cleaned ny filter do i just oil the bottom of it as in the bit that catches the crap or do i do both sides

and any ideas as to how many passes with the areosol can of oil do i do i know this is a bit of a tricky question do i make it just lightly coated or a bit more dampish or what

excuse me if i sound dull but i am a bit

Oil all the black plastic rubber parts and edges as far as i'm aware, And use fairy liquid for the green stuff itself.

Panel Filter, or Cone?

t s a panel filter i just got it out of the airing cupboard so its nice and ddry i'll oil it later after work i really hope i don't over oil this poxy thing now

right i've sprayed the oil on i kinda gave it an overall coating both sides quite lightly i got good overall coveredge can anyone give me any more thoughts on this matter i would be very grateful

If it's anything like the K&N cones, you oil the side that the air will be hitting as it first enters the airbox and put as little possible oil on the other side. Once you have oiled it let it stand for 15 minutes to soak in and then dab the surface with some good kitchen roll

so really i should just do the air side and then lightly do the other side not do both like i have

back to the drawing board then ill wash it out again tonite

I think you'll be fine, just make sure you dab off any excess oil. Up to you of course though as it's an entirely at your own risk thing.
