Air filter oil. Ram Air foam filter

[markus.w]

Hi all, my foam filter is a bit dry so I have order a can of filter oil but was wondering has anyone used any other type of oil just to get me going until my order arrives?

Engine oil, regular 4 stroke stuff...

I just used two stroke oil

@markus-w thank you both.

@markus-w would have thought 4 stroke would be too thick but i guess if you wring the filter out good it would be fine

[markus.w]

@declan yes that makes sense thanks. I think I'll go with the 2stroke oil as I have lots here and it can't do any harm if small particles get inside the carb or bore, just wanted to check first if anyone else has used it. I will put some in a spray bottle and hopefully it will be thin enough to go through it.

@markus-w
The manual says to wash it out with brake or clutch cleaner (not petrol) use motor oil and wring out the excess...

@SpookDog ok thanks.
