So - this weekend I'm going to do the fluids in the new truck and will clean the AFE intake as well. This is similar to a K&N right? Just use a cleaner and recharge oil on it? Does it have to be specific for AFE? Same, same, right?

 

I believe it's the same.

 

If it is the ProGuard 7 it is a thicker media and does require a little more work washing it. Some have said that they soak theirs in a bucket for a few hours. I just washed mine several times until I was satisfied that it was as clean as I could get it. I let mine dry over night to make sure it was good and dry before I re-oiled it. You can use any of the filter oil they are simular just different colors.

 

What did you (or those that soak) wash the filter with?

 

I've always just used dish soap and gently turn & pull in & out of buck of water ,soap , deep enough to go completely under . same slow movements so as not to move the gause around then drip dry.

 

I just used the cleaner that came with the recharg kit. I would think you could use any mild cleaner that will clean the oil off.

 

My dad and I owned a Honda motorcycle shop for 24 years and I always used the PJ-! oil and cleaner. You get about 5 times as much as the K&N for the same price.

The last time I cleaned one of my AFE filters, I soaked it in a bucket with heavy concetration of Simple Green. Seemed to work better than anything I tried before.

 

I'll check out that simple green stuff. For the price of those small bottles of cleaners I figured people were using something different.

Washed the truck over lunch - looks good but there's a TON of rock chips on it. Wishing I had a white truck right about now...

 

I use NoToil foam filter oil on my bikes air filter and now on my Scotty III. This stuff is amazingly sticky and traps dirt like no other oil I have used through out the years. I don’t know if it will work on a gauss filter, if it does, that’s what I would go with.

 

Hello, there is a need to automate processes in the cleaning business. Are there any software that can help to make it?
