Also, be prepared for a wrestling match to get the stock air box back into the engine compartment. Its a super tight fit such that many owners who remove it, cut the stock air box into pieces to get it out in the first place. Getting it back in can be done, just be patient and work at it methodically.
Do you think the air filter was supposed to be a performance enhancer or just stupidity on the part of the PO?

Also, as far as cleaning the oil, I was thinking of using Purple Power on this to clean the oil. It is industrial grease and grime cleaner. Any concerns?

Thanks again.
