Why bother? It's just normal residue and doesn't hurt anything.

When i installed my AVO inlet, i sprayed it with brake cleaner to clean it up. I figured it's safe enough and it dissipates afterwards, just use a clean rag while wet to remove oil and stain.

If it's inside of the inlet you're trying to clean, you have a bigger ? to ask. If it's oil from cleaning the filter, you didn't dry it long enough, if it isn't. You have a bigger problem than cleaning it. GL!
