No.

 

Why?

 

Good question. I wish I knew too. I know they are different style air filters. 1 is foam and the other is not.

 

Actually, I think you can use the oil..

Just use water and a small bit of dish soap to clean it.. Let it air dry completely, oil, reinstall..

 

I use very diluted car wash soap in an old windex bottle to clean it. Then I use the K&N filter oil. I also have a K&N filter though . My old filter wasnt though, and I still cleaned and oiled it like a K&N. I dint think it was a problem. Maybe ThegsrGuy can back his statement up, I'd like to hear why its bad..

 

i belive comptech instructions tell you to use motor oil

 

I have heard yes and no.

I tried to use it and was not happy. The K&N Oil seems to be very dry on the foam, when compared to a traditional Uni-Filter Oil.

A mild detergent (Diluted Simple Green) should work fine as a cleaner if you don't have the Uni-filter cleaner, and I believe that Mike M has suggested that you can roll the filter in motor oil as an oiling substitute. I have yet to try it.

 

Yup, I always use normal motor oil after washing! I compared it once with the UniFilterOil and I think its not a big difference...

 

Foam filters are totally different than the K&N mesh-style, that's why you can't use a K&N cleaner/oil kit on a foam filter.

 

Just head on over to a motorcycle shop and ask them for a foam filter cleaner and oil.

They'll carry it 99% of the time.

 

I'm willing to be if you saturate it enough, the K&N oil wiill work just fine.
