I only put it on the bottom part of the filter as that's where it gets really nasty.

I run a bead all the way around.
To be honest, that's only when I actually DO put it on. I've had some insanely dirty filters and nothing made it past the lip. You could tell by the dark line of dirt that stopped right at the raised lip. :noidea: I do tighten it down pretty good though.

With the dirt and dust that flys around in the desert, I would rather have the grease rim all the way around so I know nothing is getting past.

Two words to add to this conversation. Silt Bed. :prof:

Edit; Also if the filter doesn't need rim grease, why do they make it?:noidea:
