10 mins of maintenance vs $1000s on rebuilds? Know which one I'll pick.
Too much oil clogs, though, so if it's really dusty (CO hare scramble, for instance) I use a Twin Air over filter and lightly oil that. Then I spray a little more oil on the outside of the air filter. Then most of the oil in the inside of the actual filter. My thinking is to gradually filter dirt out- like an aquifer- rather that oil the heck out of the first layer and create a messy clog there. I like the spray for that because I can regulate how much oil goes where.
I got no issue with the dip and squeeze, though. If that works for you, great.
Call me old skool, but FFT is the business!
That’s a strange way to spell proper.
Same with my oil changes, once a year. You can never be too careful..
You can avoid all this and buy DT1 filters and send them back to have cleaned and oiled and they ship them back ton you ready to go. No brainer...
-Spray-on kinds use a thinner to get the oil to flow through the nozzle of the aerosol can. It evaporates after application. Contrary to some old beliefs, this thinner is not detrimental to the foam. However, it takes up a lot of space in the can and you get less filter oil product for your money.
-It is ALWAYS recommended that you massage the oil into all the pores of the filter. Sort of negates the convenience of spraying in the first place. Use rubber gloves, because that stuff is nasty!

I use Maxima FFT and Maxima Fab1
But I never had that problem doing it the old way. So the old way for me
One has kerosene/diesel fuel to rinse the oil and dirt off before washing with Palmolive dishwashing soap and 2nd bucket with Belray filter oil in it.
Dip filter in oil bucket squeeze excess oil back in bucket. Put lid back on and done
