Good subsitute?

OK, I'm cheap.

I have a dirty K&N air filter. I refuse to pay for a recharge kit.

I have a good cleaner for it.

But what kind of oil could I use on it? (think cheap, or already in my garage)

 

[Pedro]

silicone spray?

You can get cans of just K&N oil at motorcycle shops for like 6-9 bucks, depending on the size of can. Don't use anything but K&N oil. Anything else might seep through and get into your intake, MAF is equiped, ect.

I have heard of issues with the K&N and the MAF on subarus. anybody know of that.

It was just something i was told the other day I have no idea if it is true or not

I was thinking of going natrual. Like olive oil :

no I'm not serious.

It's an issue with any car if you overload the filter with oil or use the wrong stuff. K&N oil is very sticky and won't come off if it isn't sprayed on to thick. So yah, it can make a nice car run crappy!

I just drove through there last weekend.

Sorry.

I thought the recharge it for the air filter was going to be like $20.

I was wrong. It was only $10. So I bought it. Thanks for the replys.
