These engines are cheap- not a dirt bike. Use WD-40 or some other type of oil that has some sticky to it. If you ruin an engine who cares- rebuild it.

im not really sure its the money as you can get 500+hours out of a mill, but more of the hassle of being down for a week just for a 10min run. and wd-40 wont do much. rather use shock oil. worse come to worse just put some grease on it

WD-40 is like gold......lol Point is to much thought going into such a simple issue. Pretty much any type of sticky oil will work.

never use K&N oil, especially on FOAM AIR FILTERS... that stuff is for a completely different filter. I use IPONE filter oil in a spray, works wonders and the can lasts a long time.
