Kohler Pre-Filter question

[J_J]

They say to oil the filter, and a good way to do this is to open the bag the filter came in, and add some oil and squeeze it around until the foam is welled oiled.

Booby Trap, is that a 53 Studie in your avitar? That's my all time number one choice for 1950's autos. Beautiful styling and way ahead of their time.

Guy down the road from me had one when I was in HS. I tried to buy it from him, but no luck. You probably already know about the industrial designer that styled them, Raymond Lowey, but in case you don't, Wikipedia has some good information.

The manuel says to wash pre cleaner with detergent. Murphy's Oil Soap works well. Rinse precleaner until all soap is eliminated. Squeeze Out (Do Not Ring) excess water and allow to dry.
Here is the clincher! Saturate pre cleaner with new engine oil. Squeeze out all excess oil.
