if you're referring to paper type filter (usually OEM uses paper type), u can use low pressure compressed air purge off those particles.

 

k&n type filter, require washing and oiling for my case it took me a day time if I were to dry the filter naturally. Cause manufacturer don't recommend the use of hot hair dryer, might damage the filtration device.... once done next is oiling, carefully oil each section without fail I believe the oil can keep out any form of fluid if it ever came through the air cleaner.

This is the official instruction from BMC

 

1. Get the dirt/large particles off the filter by shaking it .

 

2. Soak the filter with BMC detergent and let it sit for 10/15 minutes

 

3. Wash the filter with slow running water.

 

4. Let it dry off naturally, do not use air compressor.

 

5. Apply the BMC special oil solution.

 

6. Wipe off excess oil.

 

 

basically looks to be the same as K&N
