K&N Air Filter Spray???

[GolfVenture]

I read that you are supposed to use K&N Air Filter Spray before using them.

 

Anyone use some other spray from a local auto parts store?

Well what about WD10/40?

[Snaggletooth]

WD-40 was designed for more for water dispersion than lubrication. Works great for drying out a wet distributor cap but not so hot for moving parts. It's based on fish oil if I remember right.

 

So it does not have the tacky quality that would attract and hold dirt in a filter. Too thin and not the traits needed for filter prep.

 

Now ya need to clean a wet or dirty connection, there ya go.

I use to use 2 stroke oil in my motocross ad 4 wheeler air filters.

Brian, oh my gawd...Brian...here we go again.

 

Last time I helped you work on the '89 Venture, you did not have a can of WD-40 in sight, and now you want to use a relative of that on a K&N air filter ???

 

What is WD10/40 anyway, BRIAN ?????????

 

It is called...WD-40...not WD10/40. Geez, we can't leave you alone for 10 minutes without something weird happening in Buckley.

 

Okay, to answer your question...if you do not have a can of K&N air filter recharger spray handy...which I do have...then you can use Marvel Mystery Oil...and they do make it in a spray, just for YOU.

 

Love ya, brother.

I use the K&N kit. I figure if you spend a bunch for the filters use their stuff and you cannot go wrong. Just saying.

Yep, I called O'Reilys and they have the K&N spray kit.

Mazola cooking oil works very well too ....

Now that's a good one..........never thought of veggy oil, but it would work well and also make the filter more easily washed with lesser solvents/surfactants. Plenty of it in my kitchen cupboards. Maybe K&N oil is veggy......

 

Learn something new here ever day....

Plus it dries out pretty quickly:2cents:

Peder...veggie oil might work perfectly but when it goes rancid...yuk! Just sayin!
