Green No-Toil

[GasGas]

We can only get the green labeled rim grease, but the red oil is still available. I buy the 1 liter bottle.

Back in the day I used to slather Bel-Ray waterproof grease on every filter rim. Somewhere along the way I was convinced that a good fitting seal made the grease unnecessary (and the fact that NoToil grease turns into the nastiest mess of all time if left very long) and I've had no issues with sucking dirt. Just make sure that filter is seated!

I too used to grease up the seal. Realistically, a well seated, well oiled filter will make contact all the way around. The gassers in particular seal really well with the way that the filter folds right over the frame and seats into the air intake.

Never tried the no toil products so can't comment there.

I have used the red for years in some pretty dusty conditions (Oregon Higgins desert riding) and never had an issue. As a creature of habit I never tried the green...stick with what works.
