Dirty Throttle Body

as per directions on the filtercharger, thin stream of oil per pleat and then let it soak uniformly......... no dripping, etc. but problem still occurs.......... or is the dirty TB related to the gas recirculation of injection engines?

doesn't it require recharger every 25000 miles? otherwise the filter is dry and no filtering properties? dunno.........

i use sparingly, just sufficient to let it turn red, any spot not colored in an hr, i just drip a tiny bit, lesser than a drop to cover it up..

first time i over oiled, can see the oil all over the rubber edge, and plastic filter box, 2nd time round, i oil as little as possible, and no more such problems liaoz, rubber seal at the edge also squeeky clean
