You can use motor oil if you really want to go riding (the manual even lists it as an alternative), but I would personally wait until Tuesday and get real filter oil.
I used some Pennzoil 10w-40 that i had for my lawn mower. I just did the first heat cycle....
i bought and ran an outerwears over my well oiled uni filter for the busco trip, not knowing what to expect in the sand, pulled it the second day there to see how it was, tons of very fine sand was clogging my uni, cleaned/reoiled it and rode, but the outerwears obviously isnt all it's cracked up to be, might be ok for heavy stuff or water, but it didnt stop sh*t in the fine dust department
It works as something to catch fine particles. kinda like spder webs catch flys and what not.
filter oil is some of the stickiest sh*t known to mankind, < sucks gettin off the filter when cleaning it, and off your hands is even worse
but it catches the dirt particles as they try to pass thru the filter, which they will do if you dont run filter oil, not motr oil, < that will be fine for the heat cycles, but not for riding
think of them ribbon style fly traps < thats filter oil

you no how i oil a filter, its kind of a trick, well i coat the filter in the oil, then get a bucket of water and stick the filter down in there and ring it out and work it under the water, bring it up, let it dry over night,got a PERFECTLY oiled filter, completely covered but not over oiled, just enough
Outerwears keep water off the filter. They're treated with waterproofing.
