What is the "media wick trick"?

 

[dlundblad]

Looks brand new. Very impressive.

That's a smashing deal on the Ultra.

I am assuming just a paper towel rubber banded around the media..

I don't like to buy in lots of six because mostly doing annual OC's now. Member who frequents this sub forum put it on the promo board end of last year. Iirc 35% off code and free shipping over $10, so I ordered two. Received them like next day. Great deal and service.

The NGs are pretty much my go to now, with an occasional FU.

car51, Zee, you're welcome.

Nope, just one of those lowly "obsolete paper", or rather 'cellulose blend' media oil filters.

As for wicking of media, after I cut it open I just wrap the element in a blue paper shop towel that I used for the OC. Nothing terribly elaborate.

You're welcome WellOiled.

Very nice. Thanks for the C&P.

Ya done good Captain. Hard to beat this "Wix" filter. Good amount of media in there too.
