I had run out of the real stuff, and when I washed out the filter, I just used a drop of 3 in 1, not that I would recommend it, but it seemed to work
OK. Cheers Ray

seem to recall thjis being discussed elsewhere and consensus was that the oil is a special waxy stuff specially made for the filters (or may be just
K&N blurb to get you to buy their stuff).
for the few quid spent and the few times you need to re-oil the filters, it is not worth the risk in damaging the engine (not that I can see it would
even without oil but .... )
I wouldn't bother with the cleaner - use petrol or paraffin poured from the inside of the filter to wash the muck out - tapping the filter helps
dislodge the bigger particles.
Petrol will dry quicker, then re-oil with the red stuff and job done.

ATF Fluid for Filters
Martin1973
Just looking at the affinity ATF fluid has to dust -just see how mucky a leaky auto trans gets, I would use ATF Fluid and reduce cleaning intervals
just to make sure.
HTH.
