Cleaning air filters...

[Stu_00]

Hi there,

I have a pipercross system (VID)and would like to clean it between services / workshops times etc.

Do you know what the deal is with say using K & N cleaner instead of the Pipercross cleaning. As having trouble getting the later easily.

Or is it a no no, and just order the later?

Cheers in advance.

I dont think it matters that much ...seeing as a lot of people just wash them in the sink with some failry liquid

...i think the important thing is to dry it properly overnight, and give it a spray with the oil for them

Thanks, actually the oil I believe is the important thing too, and can only get the K&N stuff.

Do you think that will work OK?

I think It will be fine - I had a bottle of buck shee Pipercross oil that lived in the garage for years and got used on every filter i owned over 8 years ... of numerous brands

shouldn't be a problem. My lawnmower got the pipercross oil today when I cleaned the filter !!!!
