Callaway filter oiling?
I bought a used Callaway Honker set up for my ls3. I cleaned the filter with proper cleaning spray. I was on the Callaway website and it said to put their specific oil on it. I have some Blackwing air filter oil. This may sound stupid, but does anyone know if this is basiclly the same thing and safe to use on the Callaway?
If you have anytips on the install process that would be appreciated. It did come with a precut shroud, so I'm thinking that should make the process easier.
Thanks for the help.

It's a K&N filter, so a K&N recharge/cleaning kit should be sufficient for at least a couple years of cleanings.
If you're REALLY a cheap-o, you could use a light gear oil, but since the "correct" stuff isn't expensive at all, I'd stick with that.

I dunno, and I'm not trying to argue the point. I have a Honker system, and my filter is a K&N.
And I checked the MSDS sheets...the Blackwing oil is a different mixture, so I definitely would not use it on the Callaway.

I have the green filter so I bought the green filter cleaner and oil. But to tell you the truth, they are all cotton filters and I wouldn't think twice of using K&N on my green filter. It's really not rocket science.
