Default K&N Drop In Air Filter

I have this on my car and i think it's about time i give it a good clean... my gas mileage is dropping so i thought it would be the air filter...

The bad thing is i threw out everything including the instruction on how to clean it... if any ones knows how can you please tell me how?
Thanks!

My guess is just rinse it off with a hose?

Get a K&N cleaning kit from an auto parts store for ~$10. Comes with cleaner and reoiling spray, along with instructions.

Not all stores carry it, so call in advance.

I have a K&N cleaning kit, used once. I no longer have the car that had the K&N filter in it. It is practically a new kit and would rather give it away than throw it away at the dump/transfer station.

first one to PM me can have it.

It's a simple clean.

1) Dust/brush off filter of debris
2) Spray the K&N Filter cleaner on both sides (letting it sit for 15-20 mins)
3) Rinse with water (don't use a heavy stream)
4) Let filter sit and dry until it's completely dry
5) Spray the K&N Filter Oil light sprays only. Don't over do it. Then let it sit another 15-20 mins and install.

If you do notice any spots, just touch it up with the spray.
