I have a friend who uses pam cooking spray to oil his airfilter. I was wondering if there are any possible problems this could cause. I have told him that its probably not sticky enough to trap all the dust particles.

Well, that would be my first thought; its the opposite of "sticky".

Unless I could find any (creditable) info to the contrary I would not use it.

I use the Uni brand foam air-filter oil, one bottle should do maybe three or four air filter oilings/cleanings. I'm with DLHamblin Pam is the opposite of sticky, it's a vegetable oil for pots so wtf???

stick to hot water and soap, and then some mineral spirits.

I think this guy is using it for oiling...not cleaning.


But the only place I use PAM on the bike is the underside of fenders and bottom of motor in mud races...

Just a guess, but I would imagine that the sticky in the oil is to keep the oil on the filter... Dirt will stick to oil just fine without the sticky part.

Proper maintenance supplies are much cheaper than engine parts, so why not use the right products to begin with. That is unless you want to fry your piston with the Pam. hehe

I have tried to tell him but he thinks he's saving pennies here and there by doing theese types of things. Guess he'll just have to learn the hard way. :nener:
