Do high flow filters require cleaning with the cleaner and oil spray you buy seperately? Havent done anything with mine for about a year now =/ If so does the K&N filter cleaner work just as well as any? The reason i ask is because locally, K&N is available in town but anything else would have to be ordered.

 

Buy a K&N cleaning kit and follow the directions. Don't cheap out with a mixture that could compromise your filter material.

 

haha, no i wasnt talking about making something to spray; I meant do i need to buy the cleaner just for AEM filters or will any high flow filter cleaner work, ie. k&N

 

The K&N filter cleaning kit is safe for AEM/Injen filters, etc. Most of those are made by K&N, anyways.

 

You can use the K&N cleaner. I've used it many times before. Like he said, just follow the instructions.

AND MAKE SURE IT'S DRY BEFORE USING IT!

 

Alright, thanks guys. Im sure it probably says on the box, but should i vacuum the loose dust out of it first?

 

Yes, RTFM first.

Don't vaccum, just tap it out at an angle or use a soft brush. Key word: GENTLE.
