    Hey folks, Just bought a uni air filter, says got to buy Uni cleaner liquid and Uni air Filter oil. Have anyone got any suggestion on what else in market are good to use as safe alternative (small booklet also says incase cleaner liquid not used can go with simple green wash liquid for rinsing the filter). Thanks

    You can use the K&N filter oil and cleaner.

    I used a little less that 1 oz for mine, and it was too much oil. Got a recommendation here to oil it up and set it on newspaper overnight to soak up any extra oil.

    +1 on the K&n setup you can find it everywhere it does cost about $25 bucks or so but the amount the amount you get will last for many years.(as long as you put it where you can find it LOL!!)

    Yes, I can't remember who recommended it originally, but it made the most sense to get a visual of how well the filter was oiled.
