UNI Air Filters - How Much Oil?

Ok, I installed a UNI air filter. I didn't see anywhere in the instructions where it said how much oil to use. I used 3/4 oz. and it is too much. I am getting minor dripping of the air filter oil from the airbox.

How much is everyone using for these air filters?

Thanks....

 

You don't use motor oil . you buy the same oils and cleaner for a K&N filter The oil and cleaner is a spray .

if you used motor oil wait and clean it with the right stuff.

autozone has the oil and cleaner for 12 dollarsus if used right the filter will last a very long time .

 

You CAN uuuuusse motor oil. Just not a lot. And only temporarily. Its ok if you wanna make test runs between paychecks But it will ultimatly in the end reduce the life of your air filter. I just put a little from corner to corner front and back on mine and squeezed it in. Then installed it and promptly washed my hands

 

I used K&N air filter oil. So, I got the right oil. Just not sure how much should be used.

Are you guys using 1/2 oz. or just guessing?

I did wring it but not too hard. Guess it should be harder to make sure there is no excess.

 

Eh. Wring it but dont tear it. If its drippin just let her drip until its done. It'll be ok

 

Just put a good coat of oil all over it and let it sit for a day in a pan to get rid of any excess that may drip out. I set mine (Unifoam filter) on an old news paper to soak up the excess, then install it the next day. Most cycle shops sell foam filter oil in a spray can.

 

Thanks for the ideas. Painter, I really like the idea of the newspaper trick to give a visual. No oil, maybe not enough. Little oil, just right. Soaked, you got a little too happy with the oil.
