Assuming you've got a filter that can be cleaned... don't try to reuse a paper filter. You're gonna have to buy a new one if it's not a reusable.

If you do not have an aftermarket performance cleaner like a K&N, and you want to clean the stock paper filter....Dont even bother. You cannot clean the paper filters...You need to get a new one.

Yup, if its your stock air filter, buy a new one. If its an aftermarket one, be sure its actually reusable
