Synthamax Air Filters do not require oil. Service
air filter as needed by cleaning with common non­petroleum all-purpose household cleaner and wa­ter. Simple Green®, Formula 409® or equivalent
works great. Apply cleaner to outside of air filter
and allow to soak. Then flush filter clean from the
inside out with a garden hose and repeat steps if
necessary. Do not apply high pressure water or air
to clean filter. Allow filter to air dry and reinstall.
