How to clean cone air filter

I'm a noob here so please take it easy on me. I was wondering how do I clean the cone air filter. Mine is not K&N as a matter of fact it doesn't have any writing on it so I don't even know what make it is. I want to know when should I clean it (how to determine if it's dirty or not) and should I clean it and re-oil it like the K&N filter. thanks

Re: How to clean cone air filter

assuming the filter is washable, the manufacturer should provide instructions

Re: How to clean cone air filter

take two pictures one close up so we can tell you. depending on the filter material will determine the cleaning procedure.

Re: How to clean cone air filter

it looks like a cotten ebay brand filter but i can't really tell so i would probably get a new one considering a cleaning kit is 20-25 dollars you can get a new AEM dry flow for 40 dollars at advance auto.
