I can't see why you'd need to lubricate anything in the engine compartment when changing an air filter... but using some grease to lubricate the slides on each side of the clamshell is indeed a great idea... helps to keep the transmission and cables for the top from becoming stressed or worn out prematurely.

Thanks for picking that up Randall. Sorry, I thought TECH was asking an additional question. The lubing I was talking about originally is on the tracks the shell slides on and the joints for it and the top. It helps prevent some of the top problems people have by keeping the mechanisms running smoothly. Just be careful not to get any grease on the top.
