Panel filter clean.

Recently swapped to a standard filter due to the pipercross needing a clean.

What do people recommended?. A wash with warm water etc or a dedicated spray etc...

Needs to be pretty filthy to need a clean, IIRC K&N say it does filter better as it picks up some dirt.

Not convinced how good an idea it is with MAF systems anyway.

Mines a pipercross. Chose that a couple of years ago due to it not being oiled iirc. Assumed a washed with fairy, air dry and away we go?

I know some do with the likes of k&n. Pretty sure the pipercross is dry. Thought I'd ask on here because, knowledgeable.

My K&N gets a bath in some petrol, blasted with the air line and maybe a light misting of oil.

or because stupid?

When I had my first ever Impreza, I wanted immediate wooshing and chattering so I went out and bought a K&N kit. Zero research.
It sucked the oil in and fucked the MAF.
cost me £160 for a new MAF and I threw the £250 K&N kit in the bin.

Expensive day out that was. 😂

Stick iti n a bucket of hot soapy water. Re oil if necessary if no maf, the foam filters fall apart when they go dry.

You'll be able to tell if it's oiled by running your hand across it when you take it out.

Got an email back from pipercross. Wash it out and let it dry over night. Pop it back in and done. 👍
