If you using the Microfiber EaAU dry filter....
-light compressed air from the inside. 20 psi
-brush, or vacuum off the outside.

I recall they even suggested you could use a vacuum to clean it in the instructions.

I use compressed air. They are a pretty tough filter so I tap mine to loosen the trapped particles.

The following is off Amsoil's website.

Cleaning
EaA filters should be cleaned every year or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. Carefully remove the filter from the housing. Clean the housing with a shop towel, being careful not to knock contaminants into the air inlet. Filters can be cleaned by carefully vacuuming the filter media on the dirty side, or by holding the filter with one hand and carefully blowing the filter media at a 45 degree angle on the clean side using low-pressure shop air (15-20 lbs. psi)
