Default AEM V2 CAI filter cleaning

Since it comes with a dryflow filter and is in kinda an enclosed area, can the filter get dirty easily? I never checked it yet and its been a year or less since I put it in. How often should I check it? Or do u guys think its most likely still pretty clean?

From AEM's website,

Q: How often should I clean the DRYFLOW filter?
A: Frequency of cleaning for your DRYFLOW filter will depend on the conditions in which you drive. As a rule, we recommend that you clean your filter a minimum of every 10,000 miles, inspect it during oil changes and regular service intervals, and clean it if it appears to be reaching its dust holding capacity. If you live in particularly arid, dusty climates or venture off road, we recommend cleaning the filter every 3-5,000 miles. Keep in mind that a clean air filter can increase fuel economy as much as 10% compared to a dirty air filter, and service time for the DRYFLOW filter is only approximately one hour, so you can accomplish it in about the time it takes to change your oil.

All answers can be found on their website with a little effort. A year is definitely way too long to wait to clean it.

I just checked mine for the first time since installing it a year ago and after about 10,000 miles. There was very little dirt or debris on the filter. I didn't have have any of the "official" cleaning solution, so I used car wash soap. The wash and rinse water was very clear after treatment, unlike the filter in the video posted previously. I expected it to be filthy, but i'm impressed with how clean it was.

You should get the correct cleaning fluid.
