Air Filter Cleaning
To clean the air lters, follow the lter
manufacturer's recommendations shown below.
The lter requires approximately 4.42 . oz. of lter
oil. Apply lter oil from the clean side of the lter.
1. Pre-cleaning: Tap the element to dislodge any
loose dirt, then gently brush with a soft bristle brush.
If complete cleaning is not practical at this time,
re-oil the element and re-install on your owbench.
NOTICE
NEVER use any of the following; Gasoline, Part
Cleaner Solvents, Caustic Cleaning Solutions,
Strong Detergents, High Pressure Water, High
Pressure Air, and Steam Cleaners. These can
cause harm to the gauze lter media and shrink
and harden the rubber end caps.
ONLY clean with lter manufactures recommended
cleaner.

CAUTION
2. Clean Element: Either spray or pan clean the element.
2a. Spray on Cleaner: Spray liberal amount of cleaning solution
onto the entire element and let soak for 10 minutes.
2a. Pan Cleaning: Large elements can be rolled or soaked in a
shallow pan of air lter cleaner. Remove immediately and
let sit for approximately 10 minutes.
This maintenance procedure does not address the

Filter Cleaning
To clean the air filters, follow the filter manufacturer's recommendations shown below. Each filter
requires approximately 2.21 fl. oz. of filter oil. Apply filter oil from the clean side of the filter.
1.
Pre-cleaning: Tap the element to dislodge any loose dirt, then
gently brush with a soft bristle brush.
NOTE: If complete cleaning is not practical at this time, re-oil the
element and re-install on your flowbench.
2. Spray on Cleaner: Spray K&N air filter cleaner liberally onto the
entire element and let soak for 10 minutes.
3.
Pan Cleaning: Large K&N elements can be rolled or soaked in a
shallow pan of K&N air filter cleaner. Remove immediately and let
sit for approximately 10 minutes.
CLEANING HINTS:
Use only K&N air filter cleaner. Do not use any of the following which
can cause harm to the gauze filter media and shrink and harden the
rubber end caps:
• Gasoline cleaning
• Steam cleaning
• Caustic cleaning solutions
• Strong detergents
• High-pressure car wash
• Parts cleaning solvents
4. Rinse Off: Rinse off the element with low water pressure (tap water
is okay). Always flush from the clean side to dirty side. This
removes the dirt and does not drive it into the filter.
DRYING HINTS:
• Always dry naturally. After rinsing, shake off all excess water and
let the element dry naturally.
• Do not use compressed air.
• Do not use open flame.
• Do not use heat dryers.
• Excess heat will shrink the cotton filter media. Compressed air will
blow holes in the element.
