[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 198480, member: 1650"] Everyone has an opinion on what to clean with. Back in the Filtron days I used gasoline took it off between moto's (hell we could barely afford one filter) and washed and rinsed it in the same premix. went through a lot of pistons that first part of the first season i raced. Things I learned along the way is that most of my friends wash too often, complicate the jetting, spend needlessly and still ruin pistons. But it gives them something to do. Until the the filter starts restricting airflow it will actually clean better if there is already some dirt on it, similar to an oil filter. Once it becomes restrictive though you will find particles being pulled through. You see fleet rigs with vacuum indicators in the path between the filter and the engine just for that purpose. To know when it will start passing excess particulate. I don't like gas because too many people get careless about how they use it, but it cleans good. you need to rinse the filter multiple times in clean gas though, so it really isn't cost effective or sensible to me at least. There are several good oils and there is really no reason not to use them. Notoil is said to ruin some others. Belray and oxi clean work pretty good, mineral based gear oil if you are on the cheap side. [/QUOTE]
