Washable Air Filters
I had a BMC air filter put in a year ago at a service and figured I should probably at least inspect it in anticipation of a decent summer with a good number of biking miles.
Do I just stick it in a bucket with some paraffin for 5 mins? Is there a specific oil for re-oiling it afterwards or can I use 80W Gear oil which I have lying around? Experiences and advice please.

I've stuck a BMC in a washing machine before and it came out real nice. Tried to recycle a standard filter that way but it went misshaped and paper became fluffy.

 Don't stick it in the washing machine. Buy the K+N cleaning/oiling kit(can't remember the fancy name). It contains a cleaner and oil and instructions.Cheers Ben
