[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 92073, member: 21"] The key to storing the filters in the bag is to let the filter sit out long enough for [B]all[/B] the solvent to evaporate. I have several filters. When they are all dirty I clean them at the same time. After cleaning I usually clip them to fan to get all the cleaning solvent out. Then I oil all of them. They sit out for at least an hour to let the solvent dissipate. Only then do I put them in zip locs. If I have not had enough time I'll put them in the zip loc but not close them up until the next day. Never had an issue with the oil migrating even over a few months with this method. I guess it depends on the kind of oil that you use. Most foam air filter specific oils are really thick so migration just doesn't happen much. If you run a thinner brand or even gear oil like they used to spec then yes the oil will move under gravity. It's just so convenient to have ready to go filters ready in the bag. I've even pre greased them. [/QUOTE]
