Can any body help me today, I pulled my [email protected] filter off lastnight and I need to clean it tonight. But I don't know what to use, I don't have any [email protected] filter cleaner, can I just use some degreaser or will that be to hard?

This may be totally wrong, but I've always washed mine in soapy water, rinsed them really well and then spayed the element with a ligh coating of filter oil.

Please wait for other feedback in case you're thinking of trying my method. I only do this because I use to use k&n filter on my old race bikes and the k&n guy that used to show up at race tracks told me to clean them this way...

Thats what I was thinking, thanks. What do you mean by filter oil exactly, WD40?

Soapy water works fine, use dish soap to degrease a little better

Filter oil is thin oil, like trans fluid or Marvel Mystery oil.

Call me silly, but why dont you put it back in dirty ( not the end of the world ) get the right stuff then do it !!!????

Most auto parts stores sell filter oil. It always comes in a spray cans since that's how you have to apply it. I have a can of it leftover from my motorcycle racing days.

If there are any motorcycle shops or dealers near by that sell dirt bikes you can be sure you'll find it there since the dirt bikes guys HAVE TO HAVE THIS STUFF!

Thanks for the info guys, it's Monday morn and I just read the rest of your posts. Hey Obnoxus that makes sense now, but I already used dish soap and will be looking for filter oil today.

[email protected] sells a kit for cleaning , any auotparts store that cares [email protected] Filters should care the cleaner kit...

I agree with pachanga. I have used them for years in my trucks, follow the [email protected] guidance to the letter. Especially the part about not using to much oil when you spray it back on
