Yup!
Use the Blackwing cleaner and oil 
Don't ever wait for the indicator to change. I think the indicator was added just to justify the cost of the Blackwing! Don't get me wrong,. I like the Blackwing, the indicator seems like "overkill" to me. It might be OK on a tractor, but a car?

If it is looking dirty, go ahead and clean it - won't hurt it as long as you use the proper cleaning supplies.

I just use an L shaped attachment with compressed air to blow it from the inside out, 'til it gets really dirty... BTW, I don't trust the indicator...

Great info..... Anyone got a link to where we can buy the Blackwing cleaning kit (cheap). I know K&N cleaning kits can be had for around $10-$15. Does that work for Blackwing too...
