I suppose you could use a dishwashing liquid to ge the oil and crap out. You would need to rinse it very good to get all of the soap out. You would still need to re-oil it. It will be hard to find a light weight spray oil to re-treat the filter - spend the $10.

I'm sure you could just clean it very thoroughly with something else, you just need to be careful what chemicals you use not to hurt/deteriorate the filter itself. Even if you can manage that, it probably wont be as clean as doin it the right way. It would be better to just get an air intake re-charge kit...any kind will probably do....doesn't have to be a K&N. Hope this helps.

Might want to think seriously about your K&N filter, especially if you stopped it up. If you're routinely in a lot of dirt/dust, I would suggest that you use a motorcraft filter. K&N's are good for catching bugs, leaves, and grass clippings, but don't do much for dirt. IMO.
