Spend 10 bucks get a refill kit. Spray the soapy water on and then rinse, dry, and apply the oil.

Don't try to not use a kit either and make up your own... saw an idiot try that and ruined his filter.... just spend the $10 bucks and but the K&N kit.

Make sure when you rinse the filter with water that you rinse the dirt out of the filter and not deeper into it. I screwed up doing it my first time, luckily i had got most of the dirt out before i rinsed it.

Rinse from the inside out! If ya get the kit it has detailed instuctions for cleaning.
