How do I clean/recharge AFE filter?

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to clean and recharge an AFE air filter without buying the recharge kit... i.e. using cleaners and oils I could find locally, like at Wal-Mart.

Thanks in advance.

The K&N and AFE recharge kits are nearly identical. I wouldn't hesitate to use the K&N stuff on my AFE filters in the future.
