As stated, depends on the filter you purchased.
When you need to clean them, best to purchase their cleansing/recharge kit.
For the K&N it's a few steps, use the degreaser, let it stand to dissolve all the oil, rinse, dry, oil (saturate) done. The K&N recharge kit is good for at least 3-4 cleanings. (pending on how much oil you use for recharging, don't over saturate unless you let it sit on some paper towel for a good hour so it drains properly, otherwise, you get gobs of oil in your air filter)

Yea, same here. just go to autozone and buy the K&N recharger kit to clean your air filter, just follow the instructions that come with the recharger kit, the kit sell for something like $8 bucks.

depending on the manufacture. If using the new AEM filters use thier specific kit. Okay to use the K&N filter cleaner on the older filters that uses the cotton media.
The directions are on the box, and are very specific.
I like submerging the filter in dish detergent prior to spraying the cleaner on there. Let set 10 minute or so, rinse from inside out with low pressure water.
Let air dry completely before applying oil.
When spraying oil, I would spray from outside in, then give the other side a light coat.
let the filter sit out overnight if possible (pop in your old filter if you need to go somewhere).
Recheck filter and reapply oil as needed.
I never have problems or failures on any of our MAS/MAF based vehicles.

use regular formula 409 to clean it, and the K&N oil afterwards
basically soak it in 409 to get all the oil and dirt out, while constantly pouring water on it to lose the contaminants.
let it air dry in the sun-be patient
dont use a blow gun or you'll damage the cloth, thereby letting dirt go thorugh
once its completely dry, use a light amount of oil
let it soak, re-spray any white spots, and let it sit for a while before reinstalling it-the oil will stick to your maf and set of a CEL
