Uni Filter air filters are very good filters and I’ve used them in the past and a huge fan. I used them on my Honda CR 500 and they are awesome. This was a let down for me with my Kingquad as I expected much better performance. I would definitely recommend this air filter.
Are Uni filters reusable?
Uni Filter entered the air filtration industry in 1969 with a simple concept, “Let’s design an air filter that works!” And that’s exactly what we did. Our engineers chose polyurethane foam as the air filtration media because of its superior dirt capturing abilities and it’s capacity to be easily cleaned and reused.

Are Uni Air filters pre oiled?

How do you install a uni filter?
Pour Uni Liquid Oil into pan or tub and dip the filter until there is complete coverage with oil. Next squeeze out all of the oil that you can (do not wring out). Then dab filter with paper towels to remove excess oil. If your filter has a rubber flange, be sure to clean mounting surface free of oil.
Should foam air filters be oiled?
All foam air filters should be oiled to provide the best filtration performance. The recommended oils are specifically formulated for foam air filters. Some dust, which can potentially damage the engine, may pass through a filter used in dry condition.
What kind of foam is used for air filters?
polyurethane foam
Foam filters are air cleaner filters that use polyurethane foam elements as the filtering material to trap unwanted air contaminants and particulates. Foam filters are made up of tiny interlocking cells that prevent the passage of dirt particles and distribute these throughout the entire volume of the foam.
What can I use instead of filter oil?
If you are in a real pinch, you could use regular motor oil on your air filter. It is better than nothing. If you are old-school, you have probably done so on many occasions. The problem is that motor oil pools in the airbox, distributes itself unevenly and can be sucked through the intake tract.
Can you wash a Uni air filter?
Products like Simple Green, dish soap, or mild solvents can be used if Uni Cleaner is not available at the time of cleaning. Pour cleaning solution into a bucket; dunk the filter in multiple times until clean. Rinse with warm water. Next you must let the filter dry completely.
Can I use kerosene to clean a foam air filter?
Kerosene is probably the best filter cleaner. It is the least volatile and is not as harsh on the foam. Obviously, specially made air filter cleaners do any excellent job. Gasoline breaks down the petroleum-based structure of the air filter.
