7. OILING HINTS
Never use a Banks Ram-Air filter
without oil (the filter will not stop the
dirt without the oil). Use only Banks
Ram-Air filter oil. Banks air-filter oil is
a compound of mineral and animal
oil blended with special polymers to
form a very efficient tack barrier. Red
dye is added to show just where you
have applied the oil. Eventually the red
color will fade but the oil will remain
and filter the air. NEVER USE Automatic
Transmission Fluid. NEVER USE Motor
Oil. NEVER USE Diesel Fuel. NEVER USE
WD40, LPS, or other light-weight oils.
8. REINSTALL
Reinstall your Banks Ram-Air filter
element with proper care. Make sure
the element seats properly in the filter
case. Install the cover making sure it’s
in the right position. Tighten all the
nuts, bolts, screws or clips to factory
specifications.
9. DO NOT DISCARD
Affix the “Do Not Discard” sticker to
the filter case (included with every
Banks replacement element). Make
sure you put the sticker in a highly
visible place to alert your mechanic not
to discard.
10. PERFORMANCE HINTS
Service every 50-100,000 miles on
street-driven applications. Service
more often in offroad or heavy-dust
conditions. If an air-filter restriction
gauge is installed, then change the
element when the air-filter restriction
reaches 18”/H
2
O.
CAUTION! Extremely fine dust
from agriculture or offroad use
will pull the oil from the element.
Frequent reoiling of the element’s
clean side might be required.
Completely service when
practicable. For extra protection
use an air-filter sealing grease
on rubber ends of the element.
Service only with Banks air-filter
cleaner and Banks air-filter oil.
