OEM Air cleaner
Is there anyway to clean the stock air cleaner element, rather than replacing it??

They are paper so I don`t think so - if you go to K&N you can clean them so initial price may be more but in the long run you save,

I tried to clean one from my 2007 and it worked ok, but got all fuzzy looking. Get a K&N or like a SE stage I so the filters can be cleaed. if you do try to clean it just spray it with some degreeaser, let is sit for a few and then rinse it out and let it dry and see how it looks.

Compressed air will clean it but it won't get all the dirt out. A K&N is your best bet, it does a way better job.

Yep compressed air will extend its life, yet it is a disposable item.

I heard another guy say he threw it in the dishwasher every so often.
