what kind of air filter?
open pod or drop in? or OEM paper?

if its open pod or drop in don't just wash it. Use the liquid for cleaning air filter after that reoil it using the oil for air filter. If you do not want to buy it then just go to speedworks. They service for you at a price. Not as expensive as buying the cleaning kit though.

Based on what you explained it should be open pod,
Just need to clean it with the air filter cleaner and reoil it. Its important to reoil it!
If not you'll be sucking more dirt.
Unless you want your engine to kong faster so you could bring in a new engine. hehehe

there a kit called air filter cleaning kit
inside the kit there is a special cleaner to clean the air filter
there is also a bottle of special oil to oil your filter after you clean it so that it could prevent dirt & dust from going through effectively.

Do not use conventional soap to clean as it might damage the texture of your filter.
do not use cooking oil as well because.....i have no idea. hehehe
u can try but i wouldnt recommend
