K&N filter maintenance

[Joe911]

I have K&Ns on my Webers. What are the cleaner and filter treatment products that I see for sale. Any reason why mineral spirits as a cleaner or GUNK and water followed by a light oil like penetrating oil? I remember in my old MGAs that motor oil was used on the felt air filters. What to other Pelicanites use?

I don't have a K&N on my 911, but on my old Toyota 4x4 I used K&N cleaner and K&N oil. I don't remember it being expensive enough to justify trying to make something else work.

I think they reccomend their cleaner because some others may make the filter material shrink. Use cold water for the same reason, hot is supposed to make it shrink.

Joe,
Discount auto and Autozone sell the kit reasonably cheap.
