    Pre-oiled air filters

    by dfortman » Wed Jan 31, 2007 2:08 pm

    Hello everyone, my question is regarding the use of pre-oiled air filters. Does any of you currently use the pre-oiled filters, either the no-toil or the ready filters? I have used them on two strokes and my concern is whether they will have the filtering capability. The filter material seems to be much thinner then the stock or aftermarket non-oiled filters.

    On a different note, this is a great site. With the technical information in the articles, on the products and the input from the threads, there is not to much that can not be found on this site, kudos to the owner.

    I just got a boat load of pre oiled Twinairs and they look to be the exact same as the non oiled ones.

    welcome to crf's only and thanks for the kind words...we agree this is a great place largely because of the great members who provide such great advice and technical information.

    on the filters, i personally use the twin air pre-oiled filters. they work great and i have never had a problem with them. the others you mentioned are meant for fewer uses than the twin air. the twin air are their regular filters just pre-oiled. so they are designed and built to last repeated cleanings and re-oiling.

    I am using the twin air pre-oiled as well.

    I just tried to clean it for the first time, and it was not easy. I did not have the twin air cleaner. I tried PJ1 and then detergent, and then gas (I know--I should not do that.). I could not get all of the dirt off the damn thing. I can't tell if the lube on it is oil-based or water-based...

    Any pointers? Is the twin air cleaner good stuff?

    My question, "Any pointers? Is the twin air cleaner good stuff?" was ambiguous...

    Just to be clear, I'm asking if the twin air cleaning solvent/solution is good. I'm either going to buy that or Notoil cleaner and oil tomorrow...
