AEM air filters
Since these are not the oil type like the K&N, I thought you could clean these with the K&N cleaner but leave off the oil. It feels like it has some type of coat on it (when new) but I don't know what to spray back on it (if anything)?

Tap off all loose dirt and debris.2.Measure the length of the filter media.3.Fill a pail with warm clean water to the depth determined in Step 2. Add 12 ounces (one bottle) of AEM Filter cleaning solution to the water.4.Without allowing the solution to flow into the filter neck, submerge the filter into the water and let it soak for 10 minutes. After soaking, rotate the filter back and forth to agitate the water and knock off dirt.5.Empty the bucket of dirty water. Repeat steps 3 and 4. (Both solution bottles will be used for one cleaning cycle)6.Refill the pail with clean warm water and rinse by rotating the filter as in step 4.
