The K&N filter is not paper and so far is impervious to modern gas. It is cleaned with water / cleaner and then sprayed with kit oil provided. There are other special oils available for air cleaners that don't drip like oil bath types often soaked in 50wt. oil.
After 200 miles of running, it is amazing how much soot and new exhaust pipe flaked-off paint (improperly applied !!) that gets trapped in the K&N. It is a reddish color when cleaned.
