Air filter oil for off-road nitro engines
 

Hello everybody!
Which is your favorite oil for your air filter?
I use kyosho, the blue but i'm thinking to change.
Mugen or Losi?
It's a little difficult for me to use the kyosho.
It's sticky.

No Toil. Only way to fly.

Its supposed to be sticky. go to a cycle shop and buy some foam filter oil. You get so much more for about the same price.

I like the kyosho blue stuff personally. I didn't like the Mugen or kyosho green too much.

+1 you get a quart for the same price as a Kyosho bottle. A quart will last a loooong time. I don't even remember when I got the one I have and it's only half gone. :nod:

I should add that if you like a thinner oil. Add some isopropyl alcohol to thin it out. Just make sure you let it evaporate after applying to a filter.

u can made ur own blend.
50:50 of marvel mystery oil and castor oil works very well.
or if you want lil bit sticky get K&N air filter oil and mix it with castor so that it wont be too sticky.

This stuff works good, especially if you wash and reuse filters.

Great oil from TKO, used it for 2 seasons and engine internals look as good as new. Oil is a little sticky but not as bad as other oils I have used.

I have used new car engine oil for years, never ever had a problem & never had any dirt/dust get past the outer filter element. At the moment I'm using 20w/50 Castrol GTX & it only cost $5 for 1 litre here in Australia, probably cheaper in the U.S.
It last for ages, costs bugger all & does a great job, & I can wash them out easily in hot water & dish washing liquid detergent.

Sticky oil on the inner, and not-sticky oil on the outer. Works a treat to protect your engine, and won't overly clog up your filter with dirt.

I'm using Twin Air Bio filter oil for Moto-X enges.

It's very thin, which makes it easy to apply, but gets really sticky after a few hours. It is not based on mineral oil like most 1:1 filter oils. I don't like that stuff anywhere near my engines.

There are many oils that do the job well, but there can be big differences on the price tag.

Also available in handy spray cans.

Losi oil is like hudy oil, a good oil but not a great oil. I have heard Kyosho is the best but I can't get it here in Vietnam. So I run the Mugen oil, VERY sticky which is what I like. If I am out then I would use the losi or hudy oil.
