How do y'all feel about NoToil as an air filter oil? Forget the cleaning aspects of it.... what do you think about its ability to filter DUST?
The Shop
to the red stuff. And of course, when you clean a filter and announce to your non-moto buddies
on social media that you got a new tub of RIM GREASE, that's always good for a side-eye.
I use the DT1 filters and buy them oiled.
I use them and send them back to have them cleaned and oiled and shipped back to me in a clean bag. It’s so nice
I send 20-30 filters at a time and it’s like $5 a filter and me mess and no wasted time. WIN-WIN
I have better things to do than mess with dirty air filters. But when I did them myself, I used Maxima. No Toil has loyal customers and I have no experience with them. But I do know I won’t be cleaning dirty air filters in my washing machine.

I use the no toil red spray. I spray it on evenly front and back and then hand message it in. Let it sit over night and im good to go. I use DT1 filters pretty for the most part and they have a neoprene type seal. I spray that seal with a light coat right before I put the filter on.(yz450). The backside of my filters are always spotless even after a full track day at southwick.
I will agree its not as tacky or sticky as PJ1 that I used to use. but I have never had an issue.
I used NoToil almost exclusively for 10 years but that was on a KDX on trails and such. Not in dusty hare scrambles or MX races or the kind of thing I push my KX thru. I never had issues and I'd just oil up a filter and leave it in a bag until I needed- unknowingly I _was_ letting it sit.
I have a brand-new Uni for the KX that I hate to just throw away, but unless I'm wrong, it looks like the Power-Flo kit simply replaces the backfire screen with a gasket, leaving the actual filter mating surface untouched. I guess I'll see, but right now I don't know why I can't use the Uni filter with NoToil oil as it looks to me like the key to keeping the bike from catching fire w/out a backfire screen is the NoToil oil itself. Thus my Q in this thread!
Right now I'm thinking of keeping the kit and using NoToil in the KX.
