I got my Notoil @ Rocky Mountain ATV. I got the cleaner and oil as a kit and it was around $11 or $12. I haven't used the cleaner yet as it says it only works on the Notoil oil but the oil seems very sticky and should grab all those small dirt and sand particles. My Honda dealership actually recommened both the Notoil oil and the UNI Filter to me. I also bought a UNI filter from Rocky Mountain ATV.

If you try this site, in the search just put in no-toil and it will come up with some options. I got this one: No-Toil Filter Maintenance Kit, Aerosol Kit & it was $11.75. - Later Scott

be careful with the amount of bel-ray filteroil you use.couple of friends that race w/us ride crf450 bikes.both began having starting trouble.honda tore 1 of the bikes down supposedly & couldn't find the prob.we began to tear bike #2 apart & soon as i got the valvlecover off,i found the prob.;the valves were gummed up w/ sticky oil.cleaned the head in bar-so. vat, reinstalled,runs fine.these bikes are kept in top shape&ichecked the filters;they were not saturated w/oil,just a coat.they changed to different air-oil;no probs since. :confused:

When I had the stock filter, I used Uni-Filter cleaner and oil, worked great! I use the same thing on my Curtis Sparks filter setup, and no probs yet!
