I know this question has probably been asked many times but I didn't want to do a search. I was wondering how often I should clean my JWT pop charger?

 

K&N recommends cleaning every 50,000 miles. That's how they justify their "1 million mile warranty." That's 20 total cleanings the filter can conceivably take before the cotton element wears out.

Personally, I clean my filter every 10,000 miles. If the filter will last 20 cleanings, that's 200,000 miles worth on the filter, which is far longer than my Maxima will last.

 

I clean mine after every Spring when all the pollen has died down.

Good thinking Lovejoy

 

thanks guys. i'm going to clean my intake before it gets too cold outside to work on the car.

 

I also recommend taking it off everytime you get your oil changed and banging it against the ground to get all the loose dirt out.

 

Just curious if the K&N cleaning kit be used on the JWT filter?

 

Yes, I used it on mine

 

Aaron, I'm not sure about banging it on the ground but that's a good idea Thanx,

it tells you to do that on the K&N cleaner instructions... not too hard, but enough to knock out and junk that has collected... I was amazed to see how much came out of it..

 

Yes, use the K&N cleaning kit.

I waited a long time...the car felt like it was stalling. After I cleaned it...smooth driving.

 

What is the life on the JWT filter? Why did I buy the Stillen? Why does anyone pay almost double for the Stillen?

 

People purchase $tealin' products for the name brand. I believe the Stillen Cone also has CARB exemption for CA emissions. But I have never had a problem passing visual emissions check with my JWT cone, and I live in a super strict "phase 2" district in California (which has tougher emissions laws than the rest of the state).
