Got a K&N cone filter which needs a bit of a clean and you're supposed to use the proper K&N oil. Basically can anything else be used in it's place ? Assume WD40 etc is out as would go straight into the metering head.........is the 'proper' stuff the only way ?
Cheers.

I wouldn't personally cut this corner, as it's the oil that holds the dust particles. Plus, the K&N stuff is coloured, so you can see when you've oiled it back up correctly, or where you haven't.
