no you need airfilter specific oil. I dont see why byou should have a problem with that, a bottle will last me a long long time, and i change my airfilter every single tank i drive ( i drive in very dirty conditions)

Go to you local cycle shop and pick up some motorcycle filter oil. Bottle will last longer than the engine will.

If you go to a motorcycle shop to get it make sure it is for foam filter not a glazed filter. Yes if you really like your engine get the proper oil as air filter oil is MUCH sticker then motor oil and keeps dirt for getting in your engine.

Thanks Guys,

It was just a thought I had. I dont mind spending 3 bucks a month for air filter oil. I just thought it would be cool to buy a big bottle and like bigbadbowtie said last longer than your engine. Thanks for the help.
