Was about to use some left over K&N filter 2 bottle cleaner oil kit but knowing I wouldn't use the oil bottle and use only the cleaner. I read the big warning on the filter saying do not oil, so fully understand that part figure I would get the correctly cleaner so over time I don't damage the media.

Does anyone know of where locally I can get 'AEM - K&N Synthetic Air Filter Cleaner' for my AEM CAI? Talked to a few places like Canadian Tire, Partsource, couple Auto Supply shops, and they all seem to be saying the same thing special order from Keystone and will cost ~$12 and shipped in for ~$30. Wow pretty expensive for 32oz bottle of cleaner!

Wasn't sure if there was an alternative cleaner/soap safe to use to wash it out without damaging it over time? I'm hoping some places will carry the K&N cleaner in stock soon, especially if K&N is got some partnership with AEM now?

From AEM's Website:

i just cleaned my AEM dryflow filter. I googled it and found a bunch of people doing the same thing. I removed it, filled a clean bucket with warm water and a bit of clothing detergent. then put the filter in and twist it like a washing machine would. Empty the water and repeat. Then rinse very well with just water. Let the filter air dry on its own. It's just synthetic fabric, so you don't need oil or anything.

Cool thanks didn't want to damage the filter with using the wrong product on it. I was thinking of trying a small amount of liquid Tide (like position 1 in the cup) and using some warm water. Absolutely retarded that AEM & K&N sell filters at places like Crappy-Tire but they do not stock the cleaner, only the old oil version cleaner.

Found this from aFe might be same thing just use mild detergent going to give it a try:
