How much air filter oil is a person supposed to use? I notice a few drops falling out of the filter into the bottom of my airbox after a days riding. I think I might be using too much.
If a person old the filter from the outside, should oil be visible on the inside?
Sorry for asking such a vague question on the internet. I would love to find a better method!
I used to have my filters dripping from using to much oil, now I spend more time massaging the oil through the filter.
I use a plastic bag pouring/massaging until the whole thing is covered and the oil is visible both inside and outside the filter. Not sure if this is correct, but it works for me.
I drown mine in a plastic bag, then squeeze out the excess into a bottom corner of the bag, then cut the corner and let it drain back into the bottle. Then I get the filter in a bunch of paper towels and squeeze again. There's enough to catch dirt, while not being so much as to have run-off.
