Are you asking or are you telling us this?
If you're asking....yes, there is. Autozone for less than $10.
If you're telling us......well......tell us something we didn't know.

I clean my K&N cone with simple green, a medical scrub brush, and water. I clean it, dry it and then re-oil it and it's good as new.

theres a K&N 'clean and oil' kit?</TD></TR></TABLE>Thats it. I use WD40 on foam air filter elements in power tool engines. They must be similar sprays. You soak the element and squeeze or rinse out the sludge.

does anyone know if you can buy just the K&N (fram makes some too now) oil I hate using the normal cleaning stuff that it comes with because using the pump style sprayer takes forever. I use simple green and it works GREAT.

Re: (Slow_CvC99)
parts washer is fine, but your not suppose to use compressed air since the pressures are so high, you will leave very small tear marks in the filter media unless you have one of those completely metal filters like the blitz one? (forgot who made the all metal one)

to answer easily, no. think about people that are using short ram intakes, the temo under the hood is far hotter than what a blow dryer can do to it, i think it will be just fine

Re: (asmallsol)
I picked up one of those K&N filter recharge kits.
I washed filter with the cleaner solevent, rinsed it with tap water, then i stuck it in the washing machine and put it on SPIN DRY. drained all the water out, then sprayed it down with the K&N filter lube.
one question though, I dried my CAI filter with a BLOWDRYER before...
