How do you "wash" this filter before spraying with oil

I use the K&N; cleaner you can also use dish soap with a degreaser (Dawn) rinse with water let dry recharge with K&N; oil you are good to go.

There is a cleaner that is in the K&N kit to spray on first, then after it soaks for a while use the garden hose to rinse out and let dry before spraying the oil on. Light coat is all that is needed.

There's a video on YouTube from Pioneer showing you how to take apart the pump to clean it. I haven't tried this yet but it looks pretty do-able. Before finding this video today, I've always just rinsed the pump and cleaned the exterior with a brush every time I changed the filter (once a month). Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYyTFv_u3Sw

It should have a washable filter if not you need to contact Amazon. You can order a pre filter separate.

Hello there! I'm sorry to say (or is it good?) that we haven't had the Filter in that long to have to Clean it yet? I believe, but am not sure, that K&N; have their own type of Oil to Re-oil? Not for sure though? Sorry I couldn't be more help. Really like the Filter though! Seems to really help in the Midrange of the Power-band. Good luck! :0)

Sorry, I don't know. I have not cleaned the filter yet, I didn't fell it needed it. If the instructions aren't clear I would call the company.

Cheesecloth works best, I think. Clean sprayer right after with soapy water ;)

To wash filter; first gently brush off (out doors) with a soft bristle brush, as much loose dirt and debris. I've found that a small amount of oxy clean and mild soap, such as dawn or small amount of tide (any liquid laundry detergent) in sink, by hand. I used a soft bristle tooth brush to very gently brush the outside, and swished around in sink, let soak for a bit, then rinsed. It came out like new. Warm water only, too hot and it can cause the rubber to become misshapen. To prolong the life of the filters, I rinse mine in cold water. Filter air-dries fairly quickly, but I have two, so I'm never without one to use. To wash filter; first gently brush off (out doors) with a soft bristle brush, as much loose dirt and debris.

You can buy filter cleaner from your local auto parts store or I've herd of guys using dawn dish soap, don't know about that one. So apply the cleaner to the outside of the filter let it sit for a few minutes, then wash from the inside out, with the hose on a very low and constant flow

That's exactly what I did with it. Just let it dry completely after rubbing it down with the oil. For best results, sand first and vacuum out the dust.

I most often remove the cover and remove the filter assembly. I use the hose and spray nozzle to clean the filter. You must spray between the grids and make sure you get everything removed at the bottom where it settles. I have found lying the filter on its side and rolling it allows me to get between the grids and dislodge debris from the bottom. On occasion I will separate all the grids for a thorough cleaning.

Make sure to drain all of the oil thoroughly out and then get a bucket with some water(is what I use) and suck up the water to flush any excess through and make sure to dispose of the oil water mix responsibly.

You need to wash off the factory oil, and apply vegetable oil on it before your first use.

A little cleaning brush comes with it. And there is some special oil that you use too.

As you are standing in front of the machine on the left side with the hood up you will see a yellow "stub". Take the piece of plastic covering the yellow stub by pulling the round plastic keeper out on the bottom side, once the keeper is out lift up on the piece of plastic and it will pop off. Twist and pull outward on the yellow stub and that will open the valve to drain the oil. the filter is on the opposite side and you dont have to take anything apart to get it off.

The filter is nice, so I just wash it periodically with soap and hot water, then let air dry. Especially after frying shrimp!
