Air filter oil is espcially designed to be sticky and to attract particals from the air. Saying that I have used 2 stroke oil in the past as this is designed to burn and leave minimal deposits in the engine.

Don't go cheap on a air filter or the oil.
A recharge K&N kit is only $10! |

yes, buy good quality air filter oil. A top end can be destroyed in no time by dirt. I like the spray on type. _________________ 2001 MZ Black Panther

I know it's an old thread but for future reference.
Mastiff air filter:
'Twin Air' filters for the MZ Mastiff,the part no you require is 154512
.......or as I did by luck find the same filter as listed for the KTM SC/Duke and Maico 98/03.
No-Toil air filter maintenance kit - aerosol bidegradable filter oil, filter grease and cleaning fluid (try MX shops ) |
