Stihl MS 660 - Air filter for milling

Is this the best air filter for milling with an MS 660 Panther mill running 3/8 Lo - Pro ?

Put your air filter in the foot part of a pair of pantyhose and then run a film of grease all around the inside of your air cleaner housing.

 

The two above methods used together catch alot of the fine particle before they reach the filter. Plus it's easy to just whip the pantyhose off the filter to shake off the crap.

 

We used to do this in New Zealand after volcanic eruptions left a layer of fine dust everywhere in some parts if the forest.

You seem to have a lot more experience with pantyhose than me ?

We were advised to do this, for cutting wildfire charred trees, and soak them in oil first, a special oil used by dirt bikes was suggested. I tried it briefly but the mills didn't want the timber so we put a Cat 977 and powerfork through the lot and burnt it.

They also do a pre filter for the 661 according to the parts list:  p/n: 0000 141 0602 costs £2 and you could put oil on it if you were that way inclined
