Cleaning Injen air Filter
Can I use regular mild detergent on my air filter? Once it is washed what oil do i use on it? I really dont want to buy the Injen cleaning kit, seems like there are other ways to clean it.

Most auto part stores sell the K&N kits (cleaner + oil).

The Injen piping kit I have came with an Amsoil filter. I talked to an Amsoil dealer who said they don't need to be oiled like K&N filters. Maybe just some low pressure air blowing from the inside -> out.

The old injen one does need to be oiled. So unless you have the oil and no more cleaning solution...I used dishwashing detergent.

Cool thanks...I have been getting a P0171 code and want to clean everything out...I think the dirt and oil on my MAF might be causing it.
