it is black as night!

how do i get all the crap off ?

 

you can buy the recharge kit for ~ $15 at Pepboys. Or, just buy the oil and use carwash soap to rinse it out. Make sure you let it dry before you reoil it; and don't use TOO much oil.

 

 

K&N's website has recommended clean intervals. I think the K&N is only supposed to be cleaned like 25 times(please check the site to confirm that #) But even at 25 times, if you clean it every 10k, that's 250k miles so no problem.

If you have a cone that's inside the engine bay, then once a year is more than fine. If you have a CAI, I would clean it more often. From what I see, that thing gets very dirty down there.

And, unless you know exactly what the K&N cleaner is, don't use substitutes. The cotton gauze can be damaged by solvents that are too harsh. The kit is cheap and it lasts for a long time. Just by the kit.

 

You can always just BUY the kit.......

That's another 10 point deduction for Jeff....

 

yea...just buy the little filter kit from like local performance shop or autozone...it's pretty cheap there

 

yeah...i do my CAI every 6 months...it doesn't get as dirty as some other filters ive seen at meets but who knows how long it's been since they were cleaned

 

Here is a "How-2" on that that I just finished:
