Cool, any idea where i can pick up the cleaner for this? And/or if I can use K&N cleaner for it?
and oil of course.
I suspect it's similar to the K&N although they do have their own brand stuff.
General Service Notes:
Inspect filter every 6 to 12 months. If the filter has a visible layer of dust, it should be serviced. If the vehicle is operated in severe or high dust conditions, more frequent inspection and service will be required. Never let the filter go beyond 18 months without cleaning.
Prolonged exposure to heat or sunlight may cause the filter to dry out. If the filter appears too dry, but does not require cleaning, a light application of oil is recommended.
Do NOT saturate the filter with oil – it could be harmful to the vehicle’s air induction system.
Directions for Use:
A. Cleaning -
When cleaning your FRAM® AirHog™ filter, NEVER use gasoline, cleaning solvents, steam, caustic solutions or strong detergents. Do NOT use brush or tools to facilitate cleaning. NEVER spray filter with compressed air or high-pressure water. Always use slow flowing, cool water to rinse filter. Failure to follow these safeguards may result in damage to the filter media.
1) Carefully remove the filter from the filter housing. Inspect and clean filter housing prior to re-installing the filter.
2) Tap the filter against a flat surface to remove any loose or caked-on dirt. Take care not to contaminate the clean side of the filter element.
3) Place filter on a flat work surface and spray both sides of the filter liberally with FRAM™ AirHog™ Air Filter Cleaner. Allow the solution to soak into the filter media for at least 10 minutes.
4) Rinse the filter using cool. low-pressure tap water. Rinse from the clean side.
B. Drying -
Allow filter to completely dry naturally. NEVER use compressed air, heat or open flames. Heat may cause the filter media to shrink. Failure to follow these safeguards may result in damage to the filter media. It is very important that the filter media is dry prior to re-oiling.
C. Oiling -
When oiling use only FRAM® AirHog™ Air Filter Oil. NEVER use filter without oil. The oil is needed to remove contaminants. Do NOT over oil filter. Failure to follow these safeguards may result in damage to the vehicle.
1) Before applying FRAM® AirHog™ Air Filter Oil, inspect the filter to ensure that it is clean and dry. If necessary, a second cleaning may be required.
2) Sparingly apply filter oil to each pleat. Spray each pleat only once. You will be able to see where the oil has been applied because the filter media color will change to FRAM™ orange. Only a light covering of oil should be applied, do NOT saturate the media.
3) Allow the oil to soak into the filter for 20 minutes. If after 20 minutes any white spots remain, lightly re-apply oil in white areas only.
4) Re-install the filter into the clean filter housing/airbox. Ensure that the sealing surfaces are properly seated
5) Affix the "Do Not Discard" sticker in a highly visible location on the outside of the filter housing to prevent a service technician from discarding your FRAM™ AirHog™ air filter.
