I have an AEM CAI and i figured i should clean the filter, since i have not done it since i got it almost 2 year ago (about 25,000 miles). They say in the instructions to do it every 50,000 for regular useage or 25,000 for extream conditions. I do not run in extream conditions but i noticed a slight drop in MPG and figured that this would be an easy way to get back what i lost. So my question is.... should i order the AEM specific cleaning kit or would a K&N cleaning kit work. I have a K&N kit that i used to clean the K&N filter that i had before i got the CAI and it still has enough solvent and oil left for at least one more cleaning. I have been looking on-line and the AEM kit runs about $10 - 15. So any input would be helpful, thanks.

I thought AEM Filters are actually K&N rebadged lol
I could be wrong though.
i'm pretty sure nautica is correct. last i checked, kn filters are used by AEM. anyways, i've used the KN cleaning kit on my aem air filter for the entire 50k i've had it.
GO PATS!!!
My AEM CAI kit came with a K & N filter. It was stamped K & N on the inside.
