If you're not going to oil it then there's no point even using it.

Buy one of the "approved" cleaning kits.


Shame you can't just wash it as easily as you would a Pipercross filter...

Use proper cleaning oil. Can be messy but it does the trick.

brush out dirt with a soft brush then apply the K&N cleaning fluid, leave for 10mins, rinse well and leave to air dry. then apply K&N oil leave for 15 mins before putting back in car. kit costs around £10
