NEVER brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the fibers and
cause poor performance in your air filter. Replace the paper filter
element if it is excessively dirty.
3. Clean foam element in warm, soapy water or nonflammable
solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip the element in clean
engine oil and completely squeeze out the excess oil from the
element before installing.
