Cold Air Intake Filter needs cleaning

[1992LSC]

can anyone tell me what I can use to clean this filter. Ive been told carb cleaner, and compressed air, but Im not too sure about that. Any Ideas would be helpful.

If you have time to let it dry off carb cleaner is ok just don't get anything on your MAF meter...even a garden hose is ok as long as the filter is dry when you are done. even just water will f/u a MAF meter

Just be sure it is a cleanable one. I had a friend who bought a cheapy one and tried to clean it out with water, well it was a paper one and the water from the hose just tore it all to pieces. I got a good laugh out of it anyway. He was quite pissed. :D

Whoever msde it should have a cleaning kit with the right soap and oil to get it good as new. Are you sure it needs cleaning? You don't have to touch a K and N for at least 50k miles. It filters better dirty. K and N's instructions are to soap, reverse flush with tap water under sink, air dry, and then re-oil. You should not blow dry with heat or compressed air, Carb cleaner seems really strong. laundry detergent should be all you need.
