got a link to the filter?
don't use an air compressor ... you could rip the inner cotton on the filter. water and a little oil is your best bet.

I beleive MAC uses reusable filters, I fill my sink up with warm soapy water let it soak a little while and gently scrub it, let it air dry by itself and then oil it with some K&N oil

the oil protects your engine by grabbing the small particals that the filter can't catch.

I am not sure to be honest.
best bet is to go read the back of the recharge kit and see what kind of oil it uses. or search it online.
