| Re: How to clean K&N filter,without the kit? i always used dish washing liquid.let it soak in the sink for a few min...then swish it around ..they say it cuts grease  ..then rinse from inside out ...then.....id just flick it around to dry it off for a min or so then put back dry...thay have filter spray oil if it makes you feel better ... oil dont hurt thats for sure i just never bothered with it |

 | Re: How to clean K&N filter,without the kit? order the kit online. in most places its $9.99 usd. it comes with instructions. spray cleaning solution, rinse good and let dry, and then oil the filter.

| Re: How to clean K&N filter,without the kit? 1) Get access to the filter 2) Remove filter 3) Look at filter 4) Toss filter in the trash. Problem solved. You can get a recharge at almost any performance shop. |
