Should I be oiling the stock air filter on my wife's scrambler after cleaning it? it comes from the factory with pre filter over the element itself and the manual says nothing about oiling it. any takers?

 

You don,t oil paper filters.

 

Oil it only if its foam.

Or if it's a cotton gauze filter aka K&N. In your case the stocker does not get oiled.

 

the gauze filters are junk. go foam. check into no toil air filters.

 

I never oiled the pre filter on the stock units. Just
wash them when they got dirty. Then I would carefully
blow the main filter out from the inside out with
compressed air. oiling the prefilter can draw oil on to
to main filter making it wet & dirty, then u will have
to buy a new one at the stealer (dealer) because it
is paper & can't be washed out!! The best thing to do
is buy a uni foam filter for your scrammy they have
a pre filter thats foam & a main filter thats foam, also
they last a long time (I had them on both my quads
for years) then all u will be buying will be the filter
oil!! (always oil both parts of the uni filter).
