HKS Super Hybrid Air Filter
With these wildfires in So Cal and air quality so poor. I'm planning on changing the air filter for my is250.
Does anyone know if the HKS Super Hybrid air filter is reusable?

You can't clean filters too much, just make sure it's properly oiled (not too little or too much).
I'm more familiar with cotton filters vs the HKS kind, so I have no idea if they even use oil.
If not, you can't clean them too often. I would say ever oil change or every other. Cleaner filter = more filtration = more air = better for engine = better for performance (power and gas mileage).

Actually Just opted to go with a K&N drop in air filter element.
From past experience with K&N, easy clean with the recharger kit. Rinse filter, spray cleaner, wait to dry then oil. Good stuff.

BTW, stay away from the oiled K&N style filters since it's too easy to over-oil them and ruin the MAF sensor.

^^ When they are brand new, I was sure that the foam layers on the HKS had an oily feel to it... hence "wet-type"
