Not sure if that will work on a cotton gauze filter, I don't see why it shouldn't though,But I would recommend you by the filter oil at least though to put on it after you have washed it I just wash mine when haynes says the paper filter has to be changed. so every 12k miles for me I have a pipercross foam filter and I used hot water with fairy liquid in and used a soft brush to work the soap in, then I left it to soak for about 20-30 mins while I washed the car, then I washed it out using hot water then let it dry out over night and used the oil that came wit the filter. |
