I accidentally ruined my k&n cabin filter

[abouttobeglue]

I got a k&n cabin filter and the mopar filter cover as a package a couple of months back, the kit included a free recharge kit, sweet deal. Cleaned it and let it dry yesterday, oiled it today with the squeeze bottle that came with it. It was red, didnt think much of it til i was through. Realized they sent me air filter oil after i did the googling.
Anybody got a cabin filter they recommend, pretty sure this one is *****.

I'm not 100% sure here, but you can probably use the filter cleaner to get all the oil off.

Where did you buy it from? I would call them and get a replacement. Why spend more money?

Cant remember, maybe amazon. Worse case is i have extra oil for my k&n intakw. Are stp good cabin filters?

You didn't ruin it, use dawn dish soap. Cabin air filter doesn't use oil. The spray it comes with is water based and is supposed to increase static.

I didnt want to take a chance gumming up my ac, so i got a replacement microgard paper filter. Noticed better airflow with the paper filter seemed to cool quicker. K&n went in the trash

I agree with

I agree with ditching the K&N, not really worth the trouble for something that's cheap to begin with. I bought two of the Microguards myself off amazon for $15 and some change(that's $7.73 each)and replaced mine for the first time at 14K and it could have definitely went longer. I'll wait 20K miles next time.

It's totally washable. That's the point. You could probably sell it for $20 easy
