The dealer warned me when I bought it that the K&N filter cleaner/oil will destroy your foam filter. you may get 1 or 2 cleanings out of it before you will have to buy a new one. Use Foam filter cleaner and oil if you want it to last.Has anyone here, that still runs a stock foam filter, ever used K&N filter oil and cleaner on it and if they did is it OK to use? Just wondering because I have a bunch left over from my trucks and its time to clean the filter.
I have not. I've always used this stuff:

The stuff you have to work in my hand is a effing mess. It's bad enough to where you wouldn't want to wish it on an enemy.
Put oil and filter in a ziplok bag. I used Bel Ray in the 80's and this was a easy way to do it (and cleaner)Only thing I ever use is Bel Ray foam filter oil, tackiest stuff ever, need to use gasoline to remove from my hands if not wearing gloves.
Yup, that is how I have been doing it lately and works great, I always manage to get some oil in my hands though! Simple green hand cleaner has worked great to get rid of it.Put oil and filter in a ziplok bag. I used Bel Ray in the 80's and this was a easy way to do it (and cleaner)![]()
