Would this help a K&N Filter to filter more?

[Oilgal]

I know I am new, and sadly I also realized just the other day, that I need to unlearn and then relearn, nearly everything I thought I knew about oil and lots of other stuff too. But I think I have an idea that may be worth trying. Then again I know I can be really dense, and so I want your informed opinion.

Here it is.

I have a K&N Apollo closed intake filter box, and of course it has a K&N oiled mesh filter inside. I need that filter box, because of the cowl inducted ram air system I have, and yet I worry about the poor filtering of K&N mesh filters.


I think it could be helpful, to lightly dust the filter mesh, with something that would ........

1. fill those teeny tiny places salt and other bad stuff would lodge in otherwise.

2. not hurt the engine and will also even neutralize the "bad stuff", like salt etc., that could harm my filter mesh.

3. be of the right size, weight, density, surface texture etc., that would make my K&N more efficient at filtering out small particles.


If feasible, then I could just dust it on and reinstall the filter, happy in knowing I have both protected my filter and made it a bit more efficient. Yes I would be willing to trade a bit of flow for more efficient filtering.

Thank you for considering my idea. I look forward to your responses.

I should go into the snake oil business. I got what it takes to make BIG BUCKS! I have a conscience though messing that up.

Just a tiny little package of new FILTER TWEAK 3000 (now with z238 salt shield) dusted on, whenever you clean and oil your K&N mesh filter medium, assures that your filter will last longer and filter better. Is it worth a slight decrease in flow to assure greater particle filtration? Well just ask automotive legend Karol Shillbe.

"Like many of you I too was worried my K&N filters may not filter out, the really fine particles below xx microns, and now I don't have to worry about it anymore." - Karol Shillbe

Play it safe with FILTER TWEAK 3000 and breathe easier!

I see your trying to find a sucker for those Z-max bottles you just purchased

Actually I traded those weeks ago. I swear I was very up front and honest about it, and he is very happy with his zMax. A very nice and knowledgeable man too.
