Step3

After that, Spray the filter cleaner on both sides of the air filter.

Step4

Allow the cleaning fluid to saturate into the air filter for 10 minutes.

Step5

Gently wash the air filter with cool water. If the filter is especially dirty, repeat steps 3 and 4 until the filter is clean.

Step6

Allow the filter to completely dry.

Step7

Once the filter is dry, spray the filter oil on the front side of the air filter and allow it to soak for 20 minutes. Be sure to completely cover the filter with the oil, so that it forms a seal.
