Air Fillter Oil Alternative?

[marco250f]

Hi! I can't find air filter oil here in our local stores. Is there any oil I can use for my air filter as alternative for the dedicated 1? Can I use engine oil as alternative for the air filter oil? Thanks!

Air filter oil is formulated to get tacky after you spray it on, so that it stays on the filter and isn't sucked into the intake or just drip off..

I doubt that regular motor oil would be a good alternative.

How about gear oil? :whoa: It's more tacky or sticky than the motor oil.

Can you not mail order the right stuff?

gear oil works in a pinch... just make sure you squeeze the filter to distribute the oil evenly and don't use too much as like Indy said the engine will suck it in. I've had to use it a couple times at the races when I've ran out of no-toil and i've never found any dust etc. in my intake boot...

Lots of guys around here use chainsaw oil and swear by it. They'll even prefer that to air filter oil. I've never tried it myself though.

I'm guessing that would be the bar oil for the chainsaw.
