Question on Air Filter for Off-road
Is it better to oil the pre-filter? Or leave the pre-filter dry?
Comments appreciated. Thanks.

oil the regular filter, but never the pre-filter.

I have my air filter oiled but do not oil my prefilter because if you do oil it, it will be useless after 1 run because it will be filled with dust. What I do is oil my inner filter, run prefilter dry, then if track is dusty wrap prefilter with a ace bandage wrap. After 2-3 heats I will throw the bandage away and apply a new one for the main. Works really well.

I like to run the prefilter dry and change it out if needed during dusty conditions. If you use oil on the prefilter it tends to clog up at the surface defeating its intended purpose. Its got "pre" in the name for a reason.

Yes makes perfect sense now. I will leave it dry.

Oil on the filter
No oil on the prefilter
Wrap it all up with athletic wrap (2-3 wraps around)
= Filter wil stay clean a lot longer!
