Cleaning Air Filter - Oil??
Hi, I've done a search on here and found that you can clean the filter in soapy water but that you have to oil it.
What oil do I need? And is it really needed?
Also, because it's particularly dirty it's running a bit rich. Should I reset the ECU when it's clean?
Thanks,
Mark.

What type is it?
If its a K&N or Green cotton air filter then dedicated cleaning kits can be bought, these containing solvent to remove/clean the element and proper oil to recoat them.
If its a standard paper filter, chuck it away.

As Richie says,
The std filter aint worth cleaning out
If it is K&N etc the cleaning kits are only £9.99
