They are simply K&N filters us motorcycle guys have cleaned and oiled for decades now. The example above is good for cleaning, but that is a non-oiled filter. Just get the kit from K&N and follow the instructions; it’s easy.

How to Clean K&N Air Filter Products - Instructions | K&N

K&N air filter cleaning supplies are available for K&N cotton, synthetic and heavy duty synthetic air filters. K&N OE replacement air filters have cotton media and are cleaned with K&N Power Kleen Industrial Strength Degreaser and then oiled with a specialized blend of filter oil.

I use my redeye as daily driver. Best 11,000 miles ever driven. I asked the dealer on the oil change yesterday to change the air filter (want to keep high air flow). They said I have to clean it myself by taking it out and soaking in a solution. Does anyone have info on how to do this? Thx.

If this is the responsibility of the owner/driver ask the dealer where the instructions are in the owners manual on how to do this correctly. Or ask the service department print out the instructions which should also list Dodge approved cleaning solvents and if the filter element needs oiling after cleaning what filter oils are approved for use by Dodge.

OK, good to know.

Didn't see anything in the 2019 Owner's Manual.

This is from the Demon supplement..

I’ll bet the K&N kit for recharge and cleaning is cheaper than the Mopar stuff.

Yep, agree with the above I have both the Redeye filter and a Demon crate type and about 6000 miles total. They are not really “dirty” but the collection of bees, bugs and other debris is goofy. I am going to attempt to use air to just blow them out.

And that Mopar # P5153376 looks like no longer available.

I just vacuumed all of the bees and bugs out of mine with a small, soft bristled extension on my car vac.

I was told that the filters are not replaceable and are not meant for reuse. Full replacement every 25k i believe I read somewhere, someone will jump in though. Just hit 20k on my redeye and filter is pretty darn clean

Just cleaned mine. Bought K&N cleaning kit and followed included instructions. To remove I loosened the hose clamps and moved out of the way so I could access the 3 star headed screws easily. Took 2 applications of cleaning spray with rinsing. Takes a while to dry once cleaned so give yourself some time. Oiled it, let dry for about 30 minutes and reinstalled. Whole process takes about an hour depending on conditions.

In the meantime installed a K&N cabin air filter that is washable so we will see how that holds up. Will probably wash both filters on the same schedule.

Because there's no oil on it to catch anything?

From experience, use less oil than you think to recharge. Don’t buy a new one, at least the red oiled units. Those blue dry filters are different animals.

Its kinda weird, there is a little tiny bit of oil "maybe" on it, but when I ordered my brand new one, it definitely didn't feel like an oiled air filter. It seems super clean. As far as no oil, I honestly don't know, I melt metal and have very little feeling in my hands.

Does it look like this red Redeye filter? If so, it is oil and use the K&N stuff when you want to clean it.

Good to know, that is exactly what I have! Well 2 of them now anyways
