Hey all,

Just wondering how often you all clean and re-oil your Amsoil air filters? Do you have a specified interval or just wait until it's dirty?

Every 6 months or so. Its pretty simple, however the first time I did it, I cut myself on the edge of the metal screen.

Also, its good to have the regular paper filter to use while the Amsoil is in the drying/re-oiling process. I usually give it 2 days b/f I put it back in---1 day to completely dry from the water from the wash and another day to allow the excess oil to drain from the bottom of the filter after re-oiling.

I knew I kept the paper filter for a reason. Thx Bob...it's almost time I clean the filter I guess.

You might want to hang it for a day to let the rest of the oil drain. Yea I stood on it. Used half a roll of paper towels.
A week later I had to change out a burned headlight bulb. I found oil all under the air intake box and down the inside part of the fender wall.

Thx for the tips guys. It's about time to clean my MAF while I'm at it. I see the fluid at the bottom of the airbox like you said...

What are you using to clean your MAF, soap and water?

I hope not...hehe. What I did was open the doors on the sensor and use a Q-tip with alcohol and rub all across that wire that you will see there on the top (Gadget's recommendation, guys got really good ideas). If you wanna clean the ports in and out on either side, i would use carb/choke/TB whatever you wanna call it cleaner.
