oil bath filter media

im hoping some one can shed some coleman on my question here. i just got my oil bath air filter for :v6: today. after doing two hours and 7 pages of research, i cannot find what the filter media is made out of inside the top of the filter. it looks like a sos pad all loose. i cant really see inside the top but i think half of this stuff left inside, and im looking to add or replace what is missing...any answers will greatly be appreciated thank you in advance...

 

mine has the same in it its like a steel wool type stuff

 

X2. That's the media. Serviced at regular intervals - FSM says to clean every 2000 miles. Remove eye bolt on the oil cup clamp and seperate oil cup from cleaner body.... remove oil from cup and clean all dirt from the inside body and cup. summer: refill cup with 1.5 pints of SAE40 or 50 engine oil. Winter: SAE 20. To clean the filtering element - agitate the cleaner body in cleaning solution to clean the element. I just use mineral spirits and put back together. Pretty easy...uh, did that answer anything?

 

wrong type of filter mine is for a v6 goes on top of the carb...not the f head type

 

serviced exactly as described
what's so different with yours ?

 

jp im not looking how to maintain it i found all kinds of info in the search function on that. im looking to find out what the filter media is inside the filter top. it looks like a broken up sos pad and its not metal like steel wool... my problem is half of this stuff has fallen out and im looking to replace it. i need to know what with...

 

okay
so the question would be:
On a V6 oil bath air cleaner, what is the filtering media/material made out of?
gotcha

 

right R):driving:

 

do you think this stuff can be unrolled it is close to what i have but mine is not metal its more synthetic ....and thank you very much at least i know what i should be looking for ...and that they actually make it R)

 

im almost thinking of useing steel wool

 

found another site with the same stuff on it.. better description says heavy duty steel wool. so i guess i will be goin to the hardware store instead of the flaps LOL

 

If you are looking for something synthetic that is like the steel wool..... I have used Scotch Brite pads for this application excellent stability and easy to cut......available at most stores.....

 

thanks for the info.. glad to see im not the only one that has need to do this lol
