P700 Deformed air filter

Has anyone’s air filter become deformed like mine in the pic? I think it might have something to do with the No Toil I’ve been using. I’ve never seen one do this before.

What are you using to clean it? looks like the rubber got soft from too harsh of a chemical

I don’t run the Not oil. I use the PJ1 oil from the dealer. I have two filters(one for a spare and one on the machine) and mine don’t look like that. Very interesting.

Just using the No-Toil cleaner then the oil and some rim grease. All No-Toil/Pro Honda products. There's no separation of foam and rubber anywhere either.

Did you twist it after washing?

One of my ATVs dose that.
I always suspected it was from washing in gas (like they say not to do).
But I thought the honda filters where yellow?
It doesn't seam to matter, the foam hasn't separated from the rubber.

No twisting…. Just squeeze and press.

I think it was yellow… The oil turns it green.
Yeah, I believe it still works just fine. It’s just a looks thing. LOL.

Update.
Since it was time for regular scheduled maintenance I just bought a new Honda filter and went with BelRay oil. I’ve used this in the past and it’s always done good.
Having tried the Notoil I would not recommend it. Just my opinion.
