Hello,

I did use this filter few years back. I used clothing detergent to soak it after 50k km. Rinse then hung to dry. I had to buy the original oil anyway for re-oiling thinking it would serve its purpose better than any other home-brew oil.

Later I did switch back to paper filter. With this the engine sounds much more refined and quiet. Not much performance loss either. My guess is paper filter has more laminar airflow thru the AFM. Ended up not using K&N anymore.

Amarin.
