Hi people just wondering does Green dynatwist need to be re oiled if we take it apart and give it a clean with the Green air filter cleaner? Im sure i have read that Green filters are oiled but should be re oiled if cleaned??

Anyone got any ideas?

hello mate, sorry for the diversion, but i noticed your signature, are you running on H&R springs with standard dampers? if so is it in anyway a compramise?

yes.. the oil is what catches the fine dust. without it the pore size of the green cotton alone will allow dust in which you really dont want.
only very light coating req'd. just enough to colour it. and "if in doubt blot it out" still applies when reoiling yourself.

Hi Sorry for late responce. Yes i have H&R springs on OE shocks and it did lower the car but not enough if you ask me. I always wanted to buy uprated shocks to go with them but i never got around to buying them. I may buy Koni shocks but need to decide if its worth it.
Car seems fine with standard shocks for the time being.
