When should you clean the filter on a cai, and what should i clean it with. Could i use a regular hose and wash cloth or should i buy the k&n cleaning kit.

 

Cleaning kit. Clean it from the
inside out to avoid forcing dirt
THRU the filter media.
NO compressed air used to clean.
DONT over oil or your MAF will be damaged.
And lastly, is it really dirty?
They go 50,000 miles before
needing to be cleaned?
Some even throw them away and
buy a new pre-oiled ready to go filter
instead of cleaning the old one.
Remember, a slightly dirty filter collects
more dirt than a freshly cleaned and oiled
one but also flow less air.
Install a pantyhose pre-filter to keep the
bugs out of the pleats.

 

pay 35 bucks and get a new one every year.............that works out to like 10 cents a day

 

Just replaced my K&N with an Amsoil (#EAAU6065). No oil involved, 5 times more efficient in trapping small particles as the K&N. I've used K&N for years, but I know something better when I see it.

 

Trapping more dirt means letting in less air. You can't have your cake and it it too. With that said I want to get one of those and test it against the S&B.

 

im very happy with my S&B that i got

 

are there cleaning kits to make the filter black when its clean? I'm tired of the pink/salmon color, and my 10,000mi is coming up

 

ill probally just buy a new filter then if they're that cheap like howarmat said.
