Which Oil To Use....

[SpokesT]

Just received my used K and N air filter courtesy of Rolex. I know it needs to be lightly oiled. The question is, what type of oil? Can I use the synthetic stuff that goes into the engine of my IS200, of which I have a spare pint in the garage? And in any case, how much oil needs to be applied? And how often?

Lots of questions but you are the dudes to ask !

they usually come with special can of spray on oil stuff

Well I know my bike's filter is to be dipped in normal engine oil and allowed bo drain off. Any oil that remains, that's the right amount!

Don't know how revelvent that is, but there you go. Think K&N do their own stuff. Probably the best bet.

I believe it will need re-oiling every time it is cleaned. Which should be normal 10000mile/12 month service intervals (when you would normally replace a standard paper filter.)

Best bet is to buy the filter recharge kit off eBay, part number 99-5000EU for the K&N kit or just the oil part number 99-0516EU which is a spray and makes it nice and easy to do, Used to clean mine every 2-3000 miles just to keep it nice and clean :D
