Apexi intake filters...cleaning?

Are these cleanable with kerosene like a k&n or do I need new ones.

You just need to get news. They are not reusable.

Just trying to help and type as few words *** possible could have told you to put the kerosine on them and stick them back on the car in a few minutes you would have had an FD Flambuex. Give an answer and be call names at least I did tell you to search.

I bought mine at Rotary Performance, and they gave me a K&N Filter Cleaning Kit with it. The kit has the spray on solution, and the filter oil. I've cleaned and oiled mine twice with no problems.

They are a dry filter element and not to be oiled. If you want you can reach Apexi at 714-685-5700

While it is true that they do not need to be oiled, the K&N cleaning fluid (available at most auto parts stores) works great for getting them clean. After rinsing them out, you can just let them airdry.

I have oiled mine in the past and noticed no difference, the oil just makes the filters sticky to dirt.

DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY unless you want to spend 60-80 apiece for new ones.

No experience with them since I'm a firm believer in intakes don't matter BUT...
