250 Hawk air filter......
Here is a photo of the 250 Hawk air filter. It's an exact match to the one on my 6.5HP Briggs and Stratton lawn mower. Never had an issue on the lawnmowers. I'm thinking it should be just fine.....

I like it. Always nice when replacements are cheap and easy to get.

Absolutely; air filters must always be oiled, or they will pass dirt into the combustion chamber, damaging the intake valves.

I believe those are paper filters so they should only be oiled if you don't want your engine to run.

You're right; I thought it was either cotton, like a K&N air filter, or foam.
My XR650L had a paper air filter as stock equipment, but I quickly replaced it with a foam, Uni air filter. I have Uni and No-Toil, foam air filters for my Honda CRF250X. My Kawasaki KDX220 has a foam air filter, as do both my Zongshen motorcycles. I haven't seen a paper air filter for quite a while. However, they do a very good job, as long as they don't get wet, with either water, or oil.

One screw halfway back on each side and then pull back firmly. I left the screws out as the seat snaps in nicely... |
