Cleaning Halltech filter
What's the general consensus for cleaning a cold ait intake filter ... are there cleaning / oiling products suggested ... other than K&N? Pro's / Con's?

I clean my Blackwing in a solution of simple green and a soft brush in a bucket of water. Reoil with a mixture mineral oil and alcohol in a spray bottle.

Just curious why you say "other than K&N". I use the K&N cleaning solution and the oil too. No problems for me. I have the Halltech Venom.

---Meaning ... I am familiar with the suggested use of K&N ... but figured there are many people online which may have experience (good or bad) with alternate products. I'm just trying to learn a little more information.

Just don't overoil the filter. My first one wasn't sure how much K & N oil to use--used way too much dripped oil for a month. Now I have a Halltech Venom 2--really like it--just didn't like the price. I think it definitely increased HP--I can feel the difference.

The HALLTECH website tells you how to do it. They link to the K&N FILTERS instructions...

In the past, HALLTECH used S&B FILTERS. Here's the link to their cleaning instructions...

I clean with a 3 parts water 1 part simple green solution.
Dry for 48 hours (minimum) and them oil with transmission fluid misted onto the filter from a plastic aerosol trigger spary bottle.

PJ-1 foam filter cleaner spray, a motorcycle product but it cleans cotten pleated filters and foam filters without damaging them. Rinse with warm water allow to dry and re-oil. I won't use anything else until they stop making it.
