I have a UNI filter I just bought for my Tecate. Now I can't find my PJ1 oil. Can I just use some of this K&N filter oil I have laying around? :confused:

Should work, the filters are oil resistant.

WD-40 works too, believe it or not.

don't ruin your tecate! k&n oil is thinner than foam oil. at the least, use 90w or premix.

do not use wd-40 it is waaay to thin to be used as a filter oil.

Likewise don't use K&N oil on a foam filter. The one time one of my riding buddies did this the trike acted like it couldn't get enough air; like the filter was clogged. Washed-out the K&N oil and used the proper foam filter oil and it was good as new.
