What's the difference between "Pro Dry S" and "Pro 5 R"?
Do I need 1 filter or 2?
Also in the description "Washable and reusable for multiple cleaning cycles". What is the proper method to clean?

You will need two filters, one for each air intake. The Pro 5 R is an oiled filter. Personally, I don't think its worth the trouble and most go with the dry filters.

Cleaning is easy for the dry filters. Knock out the dirt, rinse them if necessary,let them dry, then reinstall. Oiled filters are a bit or complicated. As you have to remove the oil and then re-oil them after cleaning. (They sell cleaner kits, but Simple Green works just fine.) Hence, the reason most stick with dry filters.
