Cleaning/maintenance of pipercross sausage filter?

[KnifeySpoony]

Does anyone know proper interval and procedure for cleaning/oiling of the pipercross air filter supplied with the Caterham roller barrel intake? I can't seem to find it online.

Pipercross recommends doing it annually.  See video below for the steps.  It shows the panel filter, but it's the same material and procedure for the sausage filter.

KnifeySpoony,

I've had good luck using No Toil Biodegradable filter oil and cleaner with my ITG filter. It's gentle to the filter and seems to work well (it's darn tacky). It also isn't as nasty to use and clean up as some of the other stuff out there. I clean the filter at ~4000mi intervals or once a year unless I do something that leads to ton of junk getting into it. You do need to let it sit overnight when you clean and re-oil the filter.

 

FYI, foam filters degrade if exposed to the sun. If the foam is becoming fragile toss the filter.

Awesome thanks. I was aware of those products, but the tags that came with my filter seemed to contradict their use - maybe I misinterpreted. Is there a stateside source for their cleaning kit, or is demontweeks my best bet. Or should I go with a third party product?

John,

I purchased the No Toil stuff on Amazon, if that’s what you’re thinking of using.
