Hello romod, I assume you have a paper element filter. Some of these filters can take being rinsed with water and dry out without damage.....Mike

if you have a foam filter, I would suggest washing it with a specific detergent which breaks the oil down. Notoil make a good product which is enviro safe. Also if you have to re-oil the filter, put it into a large baggie and add a few drops of oil. then massage into the filter. Be careful not to get too much oil.
