how do you clean one of these K&N airfilters

Hi

I've got one of these K&N filters.

Whats the best way to clean it.

I'm used to them having removeable foam that one takes out and washes/oils but this doesn't seam to be possible with this one?

I presume they are cleanable and not disposable?

cheers

K & N actually do their own spray cleaning kit for these.

I suppose washing in a bowl with parrafin would clean it and let it obviously thoroughly dry before using it.

Definately no high pressure air.

My way = half fill bucket type container with paraffin, good idea to pour the paraffin through filter in the correct direction (reverse) while filling the container, swished back and forwards, tap the bucket rim a few times to help, repeat as necessary, allow it to dry naturally.

Pete go and buy the cleaning kit for it and follow the instructions. you will need the oil that comes with it any way, do not use parrafin.
