Acerbus 2.0

I know you guys will get a kick out of this question, but I'm wondering if anyone here has been crazy enough to try this.
I ran out of cleaner soap from the K&N recharger kit. Still have 2/3's left on the oil can and don't feel like spending $15 on another kit just to have the same thing happen.

What other household cleaners could I use on the air filter that won't harm the filter's cotton?

I've thought of using simple green. The store bought air filter cleaner smells like a mixture of simple green and 409 to me.

Any degreaser will work. You can use liquid dish detergent.

Diluted in some water, I presume.


I'll try that next time. This time I just used what little cleaner spray I had left, hosed it and oiled it.

Didn't turn out as clean, bright red, as other times though.

Did you give it a good 24 hours to dry in the sun and/or air flow?

Well it is IN the car right now and I don't plan to drive it until tomorrow so... I think that should do. It's what I've been doing since I got the CAI some 20,000 odd miles ago. Never had any MAF related checklights.

Instructions on my kit said not to let it sit in the sun. I put it in front of a fan for a few hours.

I coated mine with maple syrup. Seems to keep all the dirt out good

Dawn dish washing liquid is what they use to clean up oil soaked animals in the wild.


But are you having any bear problems now? Hmmmmm? LOL

They are more interested in picanic baskets. Now, if I would have used honey, it´s hard to say...
