thick motor oil should do it, the heavier the better.

I'll get flamed for this but,
In the winter or when I race'd indoors I used 30 wt motor oil on my filters. When I knew I wasn't going to be in dusty condition that's all I used (still do).
In summer or when I know it'll be dusty or sand I always used heavy filter oil.

I'll probably get flamed for this, too.
I used to use my two stroke pre mix oil. For years I used to think that special foam filter oil was just a gimmick.
