Do you re-oil the top of ITG panel filter after cleaning?

[bigup7]

ok, so its the first time i am reoiling an itg filter, gave it a good clean with petrol and let it dry for 24 hours.

got some itg retention spray (http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m35b51s3493p29525), its the JDR-2 spray for road use.

Ive done the bottom but do i oil the top too? doesn't say on the itg website but the guide on CS shows the top being sprayed too: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?329255-Cleaning-a-182-ITG-panel-filter&highlight=itg

Thanks!

Would have thought so. Surely if youre using the right oil for a foam element versus the likes of the green/k&n filters you should be reet?

Oil the whole thing and work it in to the membrane. The spray has thinners in it, so if you over do it most of it will evaporate away.

I cleaned mine recently and my god was it covered in it.

Took ages to get it off but once I'd done so I literally just gave it a few light sprays on just the underside and put it back in.

Less oil = less restriction.
