September 24, 200420 yr comment_96291 I would think you would use a high pressure air hose to get dirt particles out. Can they be cleaned with a liquid?Vicky Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/13395-cleaning-k-and-ns/#findComment-96291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 24, 200420 yr comment_96293 No high pressure hoses! It'l ruin the filter. Spray it with K&N filter cleaner, rinse it from the inside out with a garden hose, let it dry, oil it, and you're good to go.

September 24, 200420 yr comment_96313 and make sure you oil it with k&n oil because a lighter oil(engine oil, cooking oil ) won't work as well and could damage the filters..

September 27, 200420 yr comment_96548 Places that sell the K&N filters also sell the recharging kits. Comes with 1- container of soap that you spray on the filter and let it soak awhile before rinsing clean. Then it also has 1-container of oil (red tint in color), that is specially made to lightly spray and coat to catch the dirt particles. I get about 3 or 4 rechargings out of a kit. I also soak the filter in a sink of warm/hot water after the soap has had time to loosen the dirt. The hot water makes the oil & dirt come out easy as I rinse. Let it dry before oiling again, and then re-install, good as new! Oh and yes, compressed air can tear up your filter or only push the dirt deeper into the inside of the filter, then possibly into your intake!
