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.

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

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.

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.

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.
