S&B Precision Cleaning Kit How to Properly Oil Your S&B Cotton Filter

The amount of oil applied to your cotton filter is crucial. S&B uses robotics in our factory to precisely apply the correct amount of oil to every filter we ship. For best results in the field, we strongly recommend using the S&B Precision Cleaning & Oiling Kit — the same process used in our factory.

Why Oil Quantity Matters

Oil is the primary filtering agent in your cotton filter:

  • Too little oil: Reduced filtration efficiency — contaminants may pass through.
  • Too much oil: Can restrict airflow and may damage intake sensors.

How Much Oil Should You Use?
