Default Air Filter Oil

I have a red K & N replacement style air filter, a "claw" type blue-green K & N filter (looks the same as the SLP triple), and a Donaldsen black wing that is also blue-green.

Do these all use the same cleaning solution and oil, or do they need a different oil for each one?

Not sure. I know that K & N's use K&N oil and the solvent. I've got over six years on my K & N's.

I would say if each have a 1 million mile warranty like the K&N, I would use their products to not void the warranty. All in all, if the filter material is the same, it probly wont hurt a thing to use the same product on all.

For $75-100 for a K&N, I wouldn't chance using anything but their product...the warranty thing like you said. The "kit" at AZ ain't much anyway.
