Got about a week out of the filter before needing to clean and re-oil. Baby oil seamed to dry out a bit fast in the heat. So may experiment with so other options. Going to try unifilter oil for the GCR and see if it’s overly smelly.

I put the unifilter oiled one in without telling my wife. We drove Alice to Perth (~50% unsealed) in 4 days. There was no perceivable smell from it, and she didn't notice it even when I told her what i'd done. Seemed stickier than baby oil, but conditions were a lot cooler. Either way, i figure it's specifically designed for this so should be better, and I only need to carry one type for both the engine and cabin pre-filters.

between this, the piping gap and doubling up the back door seal... I own a dust proof defender!
