Um, foam air filters should be oiled An oiled air filter will not cause you to have blue smoke or excessive oil consumption... I don't think that at our car's service Toyota they dipped our engine air filter into oil first..... nor the fresh air filter. You have not explained why 'foam' filters should be oiled... and why would that prevent a an engine with knackered piston rings/cylinder liners from burning engine oil?

To be honest I don’t think I’d buy another kipor, but I’ll keep this one running as long as I can. Why don't you buy one that runs off electricity (and which charges itself when slowing down), instead of polluting the whole of Nottingham with your blue smoke-producing fossil-fuel-depleting smoked Kipper?

This post demonstrates why you should stick to driving a bus and shell out vast fortunes for an engine overhaul. Foam filters need oiling to prevent dust particles being drawn into the engine and knackering it. Oiling them doesn't stop an engine that is shagged burning oil - it has nothing to do with the problem. Paper panel filters as fitted to most modern cars do not allow air into the engine if soaked in oil - hence why your Toyota doesn't get the a dose of FOAM filter oil or engine oil on its filter before fitting. Oil bath filters are another way of doing it - that would fry your brain by the sounds of things. 0/10 must try harder

Foam filters need oiling to prevent dust particles being drawn into the engine and knackering it. Why use foam filters then, and not just paper ones? Sounds a bit daft manufacturing foam filters if they then need to be soaked in oil before they can be used. Actually, thinking outside the box of foam filters, everybody should get in their cars and drive around and around at the moment - the Covid-19 virus is small enough to get through any vehicle's air filter - and will be burnt to oblivion in the combustion chamber!

Because its a small engine, the filtration requirments and service intervals are nowhere near like that of a car or van. Lawnmowers, Motorcycles and many other small engined equipment only need a simple, reliable cheap method of air filtration. Good job you are not a design engineer too.....
