its suppose to be tacky. that's its job, to trap dust and dirt. better the filter than your motor. engine oil would do nothing to help the filter. a good alternative that isn't too tacky is marvel mystery oil. I've used it when I didn't have the right filter oil and it works good.

First off Regular motor oil Stinks.... literally and functionally... I use Spectro Foam Filter Oil for my stock air filter. Stuff works great! a 1 QT bottle last quite a while...

Thats a big 10-4 spectro filter oil is great I put my filter in a big gallon ziplock baggy and dump in the oil and mush it all around saves a lot of mess on the hands. I use white wall cleaner and a hose to clean off the old dirty filter and redo it.
