With my panel filter, you lightly brush off any surface dirt, then use a filter cleaning spray, rinse with water, leave to dry naturally and then re-oil.

You can buy a K&N 'recharger' kit from places like Halfords, and that comes with the right oil and cleaner if I remember rightly.

I think it was about £20, but I'm going back a couple of years now like.

It's dead easy to do (as you'd expect!), but it takes an eon to dry fully just so you don't get caught short on time like I did! :D
