Air Filter Oils & Cleaners

Let your Engine Breathe Easy with XLMOTO Motorcycle Air Filter Oil and Cleaner

Motorcycle air filters are the lungs of the bike. They are responsible for providing clean, filtered air. This process is vital for successful combustion and the longevity of the engine. Like the rest of your motorcycle, air filters need regular servicing. Whether riding on the street or dirt, XLMOTO has the motorcycle air filter oil and accessories to allow your engine to breathe easily.

Why do you need oil on an air filter?

Riding throughout the year, you will encounter diverse weather conditions. Yet, your air filter will suck in debris whether it's raining or baking hot. In theory, the air filter traps large particles of this airborne dirt, dust and grit. Finer particles, though, can find their way through to the intake. When this happens, engine damage follows. Correct amounts of formulated lubricant in motorcycle air filter oil provide ultimate protection to your engine's combustion process. Here’s why. Motorcycle air filter oil offers high viscosity levels. This stickiness acts like a magnet. It attracts and traps fine dust and sand within the filter's pleats.

What happens if I don't clean my air filter?

If you don't maintain your air filter, it becomes clogged which, over time, will restrict air intake. This process results in a poor-running engine. If you neglect a motorcycle air filter, it will no longer filter out airborne debris. The grit that passes through the filter clogs the carburettor, damages valve seats and scores cylinder bores. XLMOTO has the solution to these problems with a range of industry-leading motorcycle air filter oil, air filter cleaning fluid and accessories. These will keep the dirt trapped in the filter where it belongs.

Air filter cleaning fluid

Both foam and pleated air filters attract airborne contaminants and need cleaning. Air filter cleaning fluids are powerful enough to loosen dirt and remaining oily residue without damaging the filter. These fluids are easy to use. After leaving the filter to soak briefly, rinse with tap water and leave to air-dry. Finally, apply fresh motorcycle air filter oil. XLMOTO also include a specialist air filter cleaner for synthetic air filters.

Motorcycle air filter oil

Motorcycle air filter oil has many boxes to tick. This formulated oil provides a precise amount of viscosity to trap dirt. In addition, it also is fine enough to run freely into every part of the filter. Several popular air filter oils are synthetic, which allows for the use of additives to combine these two different properties effectively. While some street bikes and most dirt bikes run foam air filters or have rubberised parts, synthetic oils are ideal for the job. For those air filters with pleated textile elements, XLMOTO offers motorcycle air filter oil formulated to penetrate filter pleats.

Cleaning an oily, dirt-infused air filter can be messy, so check out XLMOTO filter buckets. These re-sealable filter buckets often have an internal grill for the filter to sit on as it's washed. The grill allows dirt and grit to sink to the bottom, away from the clean filter. When the filter is clean, you'll need another type of bucket to re-oil the air filter. Here you will need a bucket to submerge the filter in clean oil. Once you squeeze the filter out, the re-sealable bucket keeps the excess oil safe for the next time. Specialist buckets, motorcycle air filter oils and cleaning fluid are available separately or as multi-packs. However, XLMOTO always has the rider in mind and offers complete air filter cleaning kits. These kits have everything you need in one easy-to-use pack.
