I don't run my HPF with anything and the inside of the bonnet has been fine. The good thing about the felt is you can't see any drops of oil that might be ejected from the engine, though that might be seen as a bad thing as well, from an early warning point of view. I do intend to put it in the hatch when it's done, it will be an interesting comparison in terms of noise. That said, the one I have is not in very good condition so I might have the decision made for me. Maybe I'll just get some self-adhesive stuff.
To keep bonnet-related things in the same place, what do people use to spray into the strengthening ribs on the bonnet as a rust-preventative measure? I have a new-old-stock bonnet which has had some surface rust on it, which makes it safe to assume it has some inside those box sections too. If I spray Waxoyl in them, is it just going to melt when the engine gets warm and drip out again?
