Just get a recharger kit, it will last for several cleans.

They come ready oiled usually. I am sure you posted earlier that you had fitted a new one. Is it red?

You need a thin specialist high flow air filter oil. Don't just use any old spray grease as it will clog up the filter and the whole point of a high flow filter is that it lets a higher volume of air flow through it!!

As above they also come ready oiled so you really shouldn't need to oil them. If you're actually planning to re-oil one, then you need to clean it thoroughly as per the manufacturers instructions first before re-oiling it. Other wise the new oil will drive the existing dirt & debris further into the filter and clog it up. If this is the case, then you will need a service/recharger kit that includes the specialist cleaning agent, as well as the oil.
