Regulars may have seen my futile search for a cheap lunchbox in the UK lead me to opting for the knockoff Pods. The wiki says to keep them oiled regularly, can i just douse them in WD-40 or do i need to use 'super duper ultra fancy' air filter oil?
wd-40 is not an oil. it's a water displacement formula, hence "wd-40".
you want to use a kit like k&n's, it has cleaners that won't kill your paper/fiber, and it's dead simple. i bought a kit over 20,000 miles ago, and it still has plenty left. i usually clean the lunchbox every oil change, if i remember.
or
every time i need to pull the carbs, which is often :)
If they are paper, don't oil them.They will fall apart.If they are cotton or foam use some light machine oil or motor oil.
Air filter "oil" is a special high-tack coating. It feels like the stuff used in mouse glue traps and stays sticky for a very long time. K&N makes a cleaning and oiling kit, but it doesn't sound like you can get that over there either. Your local auto parts store may have something similar, it's worth a try.
Uni filter oil ... which I believe is almost the same as lemon pledge.
Cool.
Buddha.

"waster-displacement" = "WD-40"...I learn something new everyday. :thumb:
