I dont like to clean them. Just a waste of time. I get new ones.

The next time you attempt to throw one away, ship it to me first, I could use one. I have a crappy filter on my shiz.

I fail to see the point in throwing away a K&N filter. It takes all of 10 minutes to clean them, and the $20 kit to clean it can be reused quite a few times. Not to mention that K&N recommends that you clean them every 30,000 miles.

Throwing them away is just stupid.

I agree but ...
10 minutes to clean?

What do you consider cleaning?

Spraying the releasing agent on the filter alone takes 10 minutes for that stuff to emulsify the oil. Hose it off, let it dry for a while then re-oil it, you're looking at a couple of hours there.

How often do you guys clean the filters? They are a huge pain in the *** to get out, so I was wondering what you guys would recommend? I've gone about 25k miles w/out cleaning.

I clean mine as needed. It's been as few as 10K miles and as many as around 25K depends on how much dust I encounter (Phoenix) I check it every time I get it home after an oil change (3k) or a road trip. It may be a slight pain but I would rather take a few minutes than to pay extra for gas because my filter's clogged and my MPG sucks.
