BLACK AIR FILTER OIL COMPOSITION
First Claim
1. An air filter oil composition for causing tackiness throughout an air filter material to enhance airflow and filtration of air flowing through the air filter material, the composition comprising:
- a first portion comprising paraffinic oil by volume of the composition;
a second portion comprising polyalphaolefin by volume of the composition; and
a third portion comprising black dye by volume of the composition.

Abstract
An air filter oil composition is provided for enhancing airflow and filtration of air passing through an air filter. The composition includes a first portion comprising paraffinic oil, a second portion comprising polyalphaolefin (PAO), and a third portion comprising black dye. Applying the air filter oil composition to a cotton air filter material causes tackiness throughout the air filter material, thereby enhancing airflow and filtration of air passing through the air filter. The composition generally is substantially non-reactive, has an excellent oxidation stability, possesses good thermal stability, and retains a suitable viscosity at normal operating temperatures of an automobile engine. In an embodiment, the composition comprises 96.74% paraffinic oil by volume, 3.20% PAO by volume, and 0.06% black dye by volume. A viscosity of the composition at 100 degrees-C ranges between substantially 7.2 and 7.6 centistokes (cSTs).
