It's so easy to clean the filter, I find I do it allot more since I switched. I love the stuff.

Methanol cleans the dirty filter. No need to buy expensive cleaner,

I have used it for years and it has worked great. The best part is the ease of cleaning the filter in hot water and cleaner and having no solvents to deal with. It must be much friendlier to the environment too.

I highly recommend No-Toil.

Just a warning

If you use no toil make sure you use their filter, I have heard if you use your stock filter the no toil may react with the glue. most places have a kit for your bike, and the filter that no-toil supplies is superior to stock.

I too have been using no toil for years and currently using it withmy klx 300and love the stuff. :D

But when it comes to the BMW I am stuck with the sticky goo of an oil filter:shoot: (no toil no make)

I guess they call that the best of both worlds:mad3:

Interesting Tom. I hadn't heard this, but my stock (DRZ) filter developed a 2" delamination in one of the glued seams about a year after I switched. I just assumed that I had stressed it washing the filter, but now I wonder...

I have a no-toil and a white brothers filter now, and both seem to be holding up well.

Cheers,
Matthew

I've used both the no-toil and twin air filters with the no-toil cleaner and oil, it seemed to work fine for both. However, what I found would cause an early death for the filter was the temperature of the water used for cleaning. Warmer water was better for cleaning the filter when they were really dirty, but it was also harder on the glues for both brands. Now I just use lukewarm water and take my time.

I would like to start using the no toil products on my TwinAir filter in the new exc 450. Does any one know what will clean out the Motorex air filter oil? I tried a few things, not petrolium based with no luck. Any ideas?

I had decent results using varsol or standard solvent but it took three or four thorough rinses to get out the majority of the oil. I then washed with hot water and detergent repeating until the rinse water came out clean.

It is a lot easier to contact mx1 canada (www.mx1canada.com/store/home) who are distributors and buy the filter, oil and cleaner in a kit. You may have to call them about the filters as I don't see them on their site.

I've used Mineral Spirits to clean standard filter oil for years. Buy it at Canadian tire or wal-mart.

I switched to No-toil a while back, just to give mother nature a break from solvents. Every little bit helps. I've heard of some guys having real fine dust get past the no-toil oil, but I haven't had that happen to me.

The stock oil is apparently " bio oil " and requires " bio cleaner " to remove. The decal says no petrolium products. The NoToil cleaner didn't work that's for sure.

If you used a solvent to clean out the bio-oil and then washed it in a detergent (soap) you should be good to go. I have a hard time believing a good solvent wouldn't be able to cut the motorex oil. Then again I've never used that kind before.
