u can get like k&n air filter cleaner liquid? supercheap/autobarn should have it

[**Ghost**]

is it the same material?

ARC use a foam panel filter for their airboxes.

dont use the K&N cleaner kit, while I'm not sure if it will damage your foam filter, I'll just play it safe and not use it cos the K&N is cotton.

you can clean it using some warm soapy water (detergent).
make sure you rinse it clean afterwards. Re oil it using some Finer Filter oil in a can making sure you dont over oil.

Soapy warm water is the best I've found and air-dry it.

I tend to put the FF oil into a plastic shopping bag and then rub the sides of the bag against each other to leave a fine,even layer of the oil on the sides of bag. Then I put the filter inside the bag and rub it against the filter to transfer the oil. It gives a nice coating and you can always add more using the same method. Heat the oil up first by putting the bottle into a jug of hot water.

i went to autobarn and they told me it was "felt"... like the material... but the thing i know its genuine ARC cos well its got ARC sprayed on the bloody filter and my friend has one exactly the same (but he never got around to cleaning it before he sold his car... he got exported cos he failed too many subjects)...


its a panel filter, with lots of "Folds" in it, kinda looks like teh stock one execpt when u pull the folds apart its this red material...and the weirdest thing is i got 2 filterse...one for top, one for bottom...

the RED one

[Kit]

Ghost, use the "Finer filter" oil. you should be able to buy a spray can at autobarn or stores like that. The method that sentata described to oil it is written on the can of finer filter oil.

WAIT!!!!!! is your ARC panel filter Red? or Green?
If its the red one, you can't wash it! the red ones are made of paper!

you can only wash the green ones (foam)

I hope you read this before you attempt to wash it.

if you have a red one, i suggest you buy a replacement, I think Revzone will stock them, and they should cost around $70. Make sure you get the green foam replacement so you can wash it from then on.
