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.
