    Compressed air is always a good start and blow all the dirt dust out, it may need re oiling if it's old.

    Oxi-Action 2 scoops in a bucket and a couple of 2 litre bottles of sparkling water.
    Stick the filter in and watch the dirt float off.
    You'll need to re-oil after this though once the filter has dried.

    Check the price for a new one. It might not be worth the trouble of cleaning it.

    Apply the oil sparingly. Too much oil and you'll knacker your MAF.
