Air filter storage, oil or no oil?
« on: November 15, 2013, 01:07:40 pm »
What do you think guys. I have a few foam air filters that won't be used for a few years. Should I oil then up? Does the oil break the filter?

Like they said oil if it is short term, but dry in a sealed bag would be best long term.
