Am I losing my mind? Or did something change with the formula of their filter oil? Bought a new bottle, and it seems more runny than what I bought last year. Way more runny. It’s dripping out the bottom of my air box and on the floor of my garage. Anyone else having this problem? Or am I just going too nuts on oil?
Can't speak to the belray but I switched from notoil to fft because it was doing the same thing. Super annoying. Fft seems thinner than notoil but haven't had any issues. Does it seem like it takes more to get the same coverage?
It seems like it takes less because it’s going though the filter easier.
Is there a chance your filter still had cleaning solution in it?
Last time I used the pour on Bel Ray filter oil it was THICK.
Funny, the last two bottles of Bel Ray have seemed thicker than usual to me, and harder to work into the filter. Maybe they're tinkering with viscosity and have now overshot the mark?

I’ve been using it for years, and a recent bottle is just as thicc as it’s always been, especially when the garage is cold. I honestly wouldn’t mind if they thinned it out a bit. Like Crutcher said, if you don’t rinse the cleaning solution out (with Dawn soap and water), that could make it runny.
I used this because my normal stuff was out of stock and while I didn't have trouble applying it, cleaning it out was a disaster. It turned into this thick white paste that just made a huge mess. My rinse water was full of it, and it would never seem to completely wash out..
Maybe its just use error, but compared to how easy the maxima oil cleans up, the rest of the Belray bottle will just sit on the shelf.
