How often should I clean this filter?

That depends on your driving conditions. aFe recommends checking it regularly and cleaning it when you see a significant buildup of dirt and debris. Because of its design, this filter should last longer between cleanings than a typical paper filter.

What do I use to clean this filter?

aFe recommends their filter cleaning solution, but any mild household detergent will work. Just be sure to rinse it thoroughly and let it dry completely before reinstalling it.

Does this filter require oiling?

No, this is a non-oiled filter. That makes it more convenient, since you don't have to worry about oiling it after cleaning. It's ready to go right after it dries.
