  • Cleaning K&N filters

    Just wondering what most do for this. Any good homebrew solutions? I've seen from Google several things mentioned such as soaking in Oxyclean and spraying with ATF. Or should I just buy the overpriced, IMO, kit from McParts?

    It's cotton right? I've only ever used the kit. It might seem overpriced, but it lasts a LONG time.

    IIRC they claim it dries to a tacky kind of finish. So IDK if ATF would work the same. Maybe chain oil? Nothing for sure though.
    Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

      To clean it I just use a normal spray-bottle household cleaner that says it cuts grease. For re-oiling I use the K&N spray bottle, but I'm sure other products would work well too.
