2010 Tacoma with cone type air filter and breather system

[colotaco]

Hi, I have a 2010 Tacoma with an aftermarket air intake. I have one of those cone shaped air filters that sits in a TRD box in the engine compartment. My question is do I just pull that sucker out and clean it with hot water, dry and re install or do I need some special solvent? Also, is there some kind of oil I put on it prior to re install?

depends what kinda filter it is, but warm water usually works for me. if its an oiled filter like K&N you may need their solvent cleaner to remove old oils and grease build up.
