i dont think washing it with water would hurt but the filter cleaner and oil bottles are like a 10 dollar kit at most auto stores..

Simple Green works good on the foam filters but I'm not sure about K&N.

I've used warm water and dish soap. Doesn't work quite as well as a dedicated cleaner but it does work.

A "comparable cleaner and oil" is just fine according to K&N. It doesn't have to be their stuff. Our good friend, The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, can be thanked for that. ;)
