Default Alternative air filter oils

I've seen K&N air filter oil in an aerosol spray can at an auto shop. Will this work for as a foam filter oil?

Is there any other brand that sells air filter oil in that same thick, and sticky viscosity? I'm just looking to get it in bulk at a better price than the hobby shop selling a tiny bottle for 5+ dollars.

Go to a motorcycle shop, I just purchased a quart (BEL-RAY Foam Filter Oil), It's exactly the same color and viscosity as the RC filter oil , I won't need to buy for a long time.

k and n is made for paper filters not foam filters

maxima ft-1 oil in a bottle

make sure when using motorcycle foam filter oil ...to really wring the filter out good as its thicker than hobby oil

Like someone else said, head down to the local motorcycle shop. I got a quart bottle of No Toil foam filter oil from the local Honda dealer. Great stuff.

SWAFF, Get it at your local motorcycle shop. Works great and cleans up with only water....

I use Motorex (Oil of Switzerland) for my filters.... if it keeps a YZ250 engine clean then my little toy cars have no worries.

Rock oil is made by Swaff, been using it for over a year. Washes out easy and works great.
