Air Filter Cleaning

dolfman · September 23rd, 2006, 06:45 PM

Got a couple dumb newbie questions for ya's. I've got a BBK kit and was wondering how I should clean it. Do I just vacuum it or wash it with soap and water? Also am I supposed to "oil" it, if so where and what kind of oil?

One other thing, should I be cleaning the MAF sensor?

Cheers

Do not touch the MAF Sensor..... you will ruin it if you wash itwith soap.

K&N Kit is a good thing, has instructions on box !!!

Haven't seen the filter you have but if it is cotton gause type with wire mesh surround will be cleaned and oiled with the K&N Kit. Just remember
not to over oil the cotton, go slow and sneak up on the right amount. Just enough to change to pink.
