I just picked up a Mopar CAI for my 3.5L from ebay . It is clean and ready to be used , but I began to wonder what I can use to clean and oil it when the time comes .
Can I use the K&N cleaner and oil ?

K&N not recommended, use ACCEL Kool Blue.

Never heard of that .
Would I be able to find it at a speed shop ?

Why do recommend that oil over K&N?

the k&n will make the filter red.

mopar cleaner will make it blue.

both will work fine. just depends on what color you want the filter to be.

I did some digging around and I ordered a cleaning kit from my local dealer . I picked it up yesterday and it is in fact the Mopar CAI cleaning kit with blue oil .
It is part # P5153376 and it can be had for around $15 CDN .
