Doesn't sound like it from their site, yet it looks excatly like a K&N to me... Mine is dirty, so I'm cleaning it today, but do I have to (re)oil it?

 

TIA.

Mild dishwasher fluid, air dry and you got a new filter.

Make sure NOT to use pressurized air on it under any circumstances.....lots of people "blow them out" which ruins a good air filter.

why does it automatically ruin them, out of curiosity? we blew out our air filters for our mowers every day for the lawn company I worked for... same idea rectangle gauze filter with a metal mesh...

It seperates the filter material and creates micro-tears in the filter, it compresses filter material against each other (thereby lessoning it's flow capacity and filtering capacity).

 

I'm not talking about hair dryers, I'm talking compressed air.

i know what you mean we had compressed air in the shop & did the filters every morning. granted a bobcat with a 15 HP kawi engine is not an LGT...

Crap, I just cleaned out the AVO I bought from a member using dish soap and warm water. It's going to melt a hole straight through my intercooler...probably through the block itself.

 

Soap > Sulfuric Acid
