Probably a k&n cleaning kit would do the trick!

spray on a foaming detergent like 'Multi', wash under a tap of running water, shake off excess. leave in sun to dry, spray element with WD40 prior to reinstalling, so close to the factory version but 1/4 price.

The K&N one is a detergent mix to wash away old dirt and oil, then it needs the correct oil , idea is the same for both filters. The oil is red so you can see where is has been done.

Why spend money on cleaning products. Buy a new filter.

should fit nicely in the big round bin, then fit a new one as suggested

yea but why fit a new one if its cleanable

because he "cleanable" one is usually not as good as the factory speced throwaway filter.fetches poopcorn and waits!

Just don't over oil the filter. Although won't matter too much in one of them, but in other cars if ya over oil the filter it will clog up the MAF sensors something chronic. All ya have to worry about on them though is that it might dirty up the throttlebody if ya chuck too much oil on.

probably because the cleaning products and oil will be half the price of a new filter and they are washable filters

just as a point of interest, what capacity is the engine that it is fitted to!

Way to small in my opinion. drive the carwith it of and see if you get an increase in performance.

Reminds me of the old 6 cylinder holden's we used to hacksaw the snorkel off back to the element and get better economy!

I really don't know because I got the car with the ss cold air induction already fitted

Of course you can to check performance.We are not suggesting that it be run for ever without a filter.Unless the car is being test driven in rallycross or ina sandstorm a halfhour without a filter will do no harm at all.

Is taht factory equipment as if so then there will be a factory air filter.If its aftermarket stuff it might all be totally useless and just look good (maybe).

More correctly, it will do some harm but if driven only for a short time without a filter, that harm will be minimal

I used to send my filters away for cleaning in the old days and I think they may have been using dry cleaning fluid or something.
