O'Reilleys and Autozone will have them, I think they run $20. I wouldn't use it very often and when/if you do use it, use it very very liberally. That oil potentially can ruin your MAF :(

Any major Auto chain should have it

And I only do mine when I know the car is going to sit for a day or 2, this way I can make sure the oil is completely dry on the filters.....I clean mine every oil change

That's not healthy for the filter, dead one. :shrug: :)

Walmart even has a kit. It says to use the cleaner once but I would use twice if it's your first time. Probably clean it every other oil change or longer.

Directly from the package:

"Service every 50,000-100,000 miles on street driven applications. Service more oftenin off-road or heavy dust conditions or when air filter reaches 18' of restriction. Let the dirt "build-up" work for you; it will not hurt the performance and actually help filter the air."

Shoulda mentioned I DD mine 300+ miles a week, with a sealed Volant CAI dual cone right to the hood. After 3-4 weeks mine are FILTHY!! I mean nasty filthy. Mine need to be cleaned quite often, I am not a fan of that keep em dirty theory, a little dirt OK, the amount that I pickup not OK.:)

I got mine from autozone and it was less than $15 bucks. But i only let my filter dry for about 2 hours. I also heard if you use too much oil it will damage the maf, so went light on the oil.
