    I just bought a twin air filter dust cover. Does anybody know do I use regular filter oil on it or something lighter? And if so will WD-40 work?

    I never heard of anyone putting anything on them,there made to slip on I could be wrong but I never heard of this there made out of like a polyester with super small holes to breath if you oil it you may not get no air,,that's the ones I ever seen

    Hmm. This one I have is foam. The directions on the back aren't very clear(at least to me) about whether it means oil the actual filter or the dust cover. Maybe I'll call twin air tomorrow.

    Yes, if it's a foam prefilter, oil it with filter oil.  I would avoid WD-40, it breaks down the foam faster than filter oil.

    Twin air makes a foam prefilter.  It's great for very silty conditions (like Mexico).  Our team ran them in Baja, and I'm stoked we did…bike ran killer the whole time and it was great for the guys because they could just pull them off quickly. 

    PJ1 is great, but so is Motul, and Maxima, and Twin Air, and UNI and every other filter oil…haha
