I’ve been using No Toil forever. Highly effective, and you can clean your filters in your kitchen sink. What’s not to love about that?

Yeah just get you some maxima filter oil. Not worth taking a chance on something like that.

Why don't you drain the engine oil and use that? Same result I would suspect?

It wont' mix with any other filter oil since it is silicone and it won't be cleaned out by the same stuff you use to clean other oils, so be aware of that. Also that bottle looks tiny so I'd be surprised if you got full coverage of a bike filter with that bottle.

Do you use the bike for trails mostly?

I had a gnarly on my YZ, came with it, and I couldn't get it off fast enough for moto. Revved out in a second, no top end. But for trails, I would say its perfect with a FWW.

As long as you use the appropriate filter that oil is designed for you should be good to go. Might need to modify your airbox a bit though

NOTHING is better than NO-TOIL imo ...easy to use and not all that messy plus it has protected my bikes well.

Btw the cleaner you can get at Walmart....buy generic oxyclean for like 3 bucks and get a giant tub of it.

I love the easy cleanup of the No-Toil filter. Good to know about the cleaner - I always buy the oil and cleaner together. If it's the same as generic oxyclean, that'll save a few bucks. Thanks for the info!

I use Maxima as it's the tackiest but harder to clean. I will get on to no toil as cleaning is the shittest deal of it all.

Bel-Ray or Maxima. Bottle, not the spray on stuff.

5 gal bucket of kerosene/mineral spirits to clean dirty filters. Lasts forever. Strain the fluid through a shop rag when it gets nasty, or just dump in on the campfire.

Dish soap and hot water to wash the kerosene out. Oil it up when dry.
