I have an Apexi Air Filter and I would like to clean it. I know some of you have the same aif filter. So is it possible to be cleaned or do i have to replace it with a new one?

Cleaned mine with a filter cleaner mate, gave it a good soak then washed it out and let it dry outside.

No need to replace it, the K&N filter cleaner is very good but you don't need to use the oil that comes with it, so might be better trying to find just a filter cleaner :thumbup1:

Well, i washed it with hot water and dish liquid. All of dirt and black debris were removed. Then i wash it out with clean water and left it to dry. I noticed that the filter did not get damaged. Not the best solution but i believe with just blowing air i would not remove a lot of dirt/debris.
