how do you guys clean it? do you guys use the spray? I can just use soap and water, right? would the K&N filter cleaner work as well?

 

yeah Use the k&n recharge kit, it comes with a cleaner and oil....and yes you HAVE to use the oil...unless you buy the new AEM dry flow filter....I thinking about getting it...

 

cool, do they have them at pep boys? Also, I have about 15k miles on the pop. they say 30k before cleaning.. any thoughts?

 

I've found this on the web

SERVICING YOUR POP-CHARGER FILTER ELEMENT:
1. Remove the element from the POP-Charger aluminum venturi
and shake out any loose dirt.
2. Spray the element liberally with a water based cleaner like 409,
Simple Green, or laundry detergent mixed with warm water.
Basically any cleaner that could be used to remove grease from
a cotton tee shirt without damaging it.
3. Rinse the element with low pressure (IE. open ended garden
hose slightly opened) water from the inside outward.
4. Dry the element by shaking or swinging it to remove the
majority of water and allowing it to final dry naturally. No heat or
compressed air!
5. Spray an even coat of gauze air filter oil (most motorcycle,
performance shops or Jim Wolf Technology, inc.) lengthwise
along each pleat. Wait a few minutes and touch up any thin or
missed pleats.
6. Service intervals depend on the driving environment. Intervals
can be up to 50,000 miles or as short as one day for off-road
events. Generally the element can look pretty dirty and still be
working at a high efficiency since new particles continue to stick
to the previously trapped particles. If you are not sure, remove
the element and shine a light from the inside. If you can’t see
the light from the outside or it is dim, it’s time for service. Use
caution when cleaning or servicing car batteries located near
the filter, as battery acid residue will eat holes in the element.

Theyre like 8.99 at walmart.....

 

I used 409 as well.

If I could go back, I'd definitely use the K&N oil instead.

I purchased the JWT oil off their site

Came out to almost $30 - not worth it for the blue color
