After you wash out the foam, let it air-dry completely and then squeeze a few drops of motor oil through the filter. This will help trap dust as it enters the filter. The inside paper filter cannot be cleaned and needs to be replaced when the grooves become dirty (hold it up to light &#8211; if you can&#8217;t see light all the way through, it&#8217;s time for a new one).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: I have an air filter with a paper inside and a foam piece around the outside.
