Would it be ok to use my K&N air filter oil on the little foam sponge? or should I stick with the stuff Traxxas sells?

Just wondering if anyone had tried anything different than the traxxas brand.

The K&N stuff in the aerosol can seems almost the same once you let it bubble out in a container.



Also on a side note what is the major difference with the platinum edition air filter compared to the stock, by just seeing the platinum it looks like more air will get to my engine but also looks like more fine dist too? anyone had any bad luck with either filter?

go to your local motorcycly shop and pick up some no toil foam filter cleaner and oil. Its like $5 for a 16 ounce bottle and works great. If mx riders trust it to protect their high end, hopped up motors, you know its good enough to protect the 3.3 in your revo.

Team Associated has really good filter oil too. Its really sticky and works real good.

yes you can use the K&N air filter oil...it is the same thing.....and yes the motocross guys use something called PJ1 it comes in a 2 can set....1 is a cleaner similar to brake cleaner and the other is the oil which is actually stickier than the traxxas brand of air filter oil....I bought the 2 can set and used all of the cleaner but the oil is still almost full after a year of using it.....cost is about 12 bux for the 2 cans.

I use traxxas and dynamite air filter oil. My lhs gave me about 15 75cc bottles of traxxas and dynamiate stuff so I might aswel use it

I dont think it matters very much. Just use "air filter oil" it all basically does the same thing.

Im just stickin with the Traxxas Air Filter Oil, seems to work good for me, Ill leave my K&N Oil for my Suzuki LTR450, a couple of guys I ride MX with either use PJ1 or No-Toil. All 3 are good.

You should use the team associtated oil it is really good and you get more for your money than traxxas.

why pay 6 bucks for a tiny bottle that will oil about 10 filters when you can buy a can of PJ1 for about 10 bux and oil about 1000 filters.

cuz I have a few bottles of the Traxxas oil to use up so I might as well use it. LOL
