Isn't it every 30,000 miles to clean it? I've wondered about the cleaning process too. Anyone know if it is necessary to buy AEM's cleaner or if it is possible to just use water and soap?

RE: air intake cleaner
You can clean with dish soap and water if you want to. I get the K&N spray oil at Strauss Auto. I clean the filter twice a year, but I think you can go a full year between cleaning it.

If you have an AEM Dryflow filter, I would buy the cleaning kit. Have you checked with your local Advance Auto Parts store? The Advance here sells the Dryflow filters - I need to check with them about the cleaning kit cause I know I'll need one before too long.

ive got the Apexi filter (best filter ever) and its maintenance free, but i would just blow some compressed air from the inside out if i clean it.

RE: air intake cleaner
I always hear you say Apexi is the best filter ever. Why?? Just wonderin....

RE: air intake cleaner
Yeah, I had to order the kit online too. It was like $14 shipped. Advance, Auto Zone, CarQuest, and Napa don't carry it.
I used the AEM's kit simply because I would rather spend the $14 on their kit, knowing it will work and wont damage the engine. I did it because I thought my filter was dirty. After looking at the water...it wasn't. I will wait 30,000 miles unless I drive through a dust storm! |

RE: air intake cleaner
I like the design, but I don't trust a filter that claims that it never needs to be cleaned or changed. I clean mine twice a year and it is always filthy when I do. CAI position helps add to the grime. For an hour a year, I'm ok with the oil-on-gause type. It's a well proven, time-tested technique for a high end filter .... but I do like the Apexi airflow design.
