I don't wanna go out and order the AEM FILTER CLEANER. Is there anything from AUTOZONE or maybe something around the house I can use to clean the filter? Mine is all black...my dad just suggested using GASOLINE? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

My brother said he did his in his bathtub with dawn dishsoap and kept kinda scouping up water and letting it rush out and stuff. You can do it with a hose too if you want just make sure you use air filter oil\lube after it dries.

 

You can buy a K&N filtercharger kit from PepBoys and other stores.

 

Ya the K&N filtercharger cleaner kicks ***! I did my intake filter the other day and its looking brand spankin new!

ditto

 

is it cheaper than the aem kit?

 

its the same stuff. same filter.

 

Whats the price? Also how many uses do you get from a bottle?

 

Its like $10-$15...get maybe 5 cleanings out of it, depending on how liberal you are with the oil.

 

The AEM cleaner kits are usually a few $$'s cheaper then the KN. Both work great. Its something you should do every 5-10k miles to keep the filter looking nice and working good.

 

Where could I find the AEM CLEANER? Do I have to get it from a shop?

 

man my filter is at the wheel well..gonna be a pain to clean it

 

remember you have to clean, wash and then lubricate it.

 

I guess I'll just go grab the KandN stuff...

 

I used Simple Green...man did it clean the **** out of the filter. Then went and got some K&N filter oil and that was that

 

AEM intakes use a K&N filter made especially for them, so use the K&N cleaner kit, and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. This is essential to keep the filter functioning properly, i.e. washing the filter from the inside out (always run water from the clean side out thru the dirty side so you don't push the dirt farther in), ALWAYS let it naturally air dry (never use heat or compressed air), and make sure you apply the oil afterwards.

 

K&N filter cleaner is very easy to use and works wonders on old filters.

i guess im seriously lazy or cheap cause i have been putting reusable filters in an empty dishwasher for years without problems.

 

They're only like $9.99, so far I've gotten about 4 uses out of it and they feel about half empty. They work like magic
