I clean mine about once or twice a year...
There's really no need to clean it more than that, unless you live somewhere out in the middle of a desert...

I have the panel and after I got the 60k service of course I got a brand-new Nissan air filter. I left it in for about 600 miles and compared it to a cleaned and reoiled K&N. The new Nissan gave me an extra mpg on an identical highway trip of about 90 miles each way. Who knows, it's not pure science, it could have been windier the day I drove with the K&N.
Anyway, the crucial thing with cleaning and reoiling is DO NOT OVEROIL. Just spray it in a manner where you see pink, don't drench the filter with the oil. Hey, I like seeing that color and so does Aerosmith!
