FAQs

Does this filter require special oil?

Yes, you should use an air filter oil specifically designed for foam filters to ensure proper dust trapping.

Can I use this for the 2008 Polaris Predator?

No, this specific model (NU-8506ST) is designed for the 2003-2007 models.

How often should I clean the filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on riding conditions. In dry, dusty conditions, inspect and clean after every few rides.

Is the filter pre-oiled in the box?

Typically, these filters are shipped dry and must be oiled before the first use.

What happens if I don't use grease on the seal?

Without grease in the seal groove, fine dust particles may bypass the filter and enter the intake, potentially causing engine damage.

Troubleshooting

Engine is running sluggishly or losing power

The filter is likely saturated with dirt. Remove, wash, re-oil, and reinstall the filter to restore airflow.

Dust is visible inside the airbox past the filter

Check the Ultra Seal grease groove. Ensure it is properly greased and the filter is seated snugly against the airbox mounting surface.
