Step 1: Throw the K&N filter in the trash and get a real filter.

No, but seriously, all smart-assery aside, the oil-able filters allow larger sized particles through. If you live anywhere at all dusty, this is worth thinking about.
I wonder how much, if any, you save with the oiling supplies?
It seems to me like you could clean it with anything that won't destroy the foam, and then I would buy the K&N oil. It's *hopefully* formulated to be safe for O2 sensors and AMMs.

Good Luck!
