RE: Best type of car for grass

It appears that the inner and outer foam air filters are not installed. Do I need to put oil on both of the inner and outer foam pieces? And how much oil do I put on the foam?

Thank you,

RE: Best type of car for grass

Do I need to put air fliter oil on the foam filter before I run the car for the first time, or has this already been done at the factory?

Thank you,
