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.

It took me all of 2 minutes to get it out and put the new one in. If you have a friend help you its a lot easier. I bought a new filter every three months or so.

What filter do you use in them? K&N?


Well, surely not K&N if your replacing them every few months.

I clean mine every 60 days, but you can go longer.. its really not that hard to do

A K&N will get as dirty as a paper filter... espically here in Texas where it wasin dirt and floods like a Tsunami just hit Japan!

Exactly why I was asking.

K&N is a reusable filter, why in the world would you buy a new $50 K&N filter every few months? That's just insane, and the reason I was assuming you weren't using one.

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

its true it takes like $20 for the oil and **** and like an hour to clean and re oil. if im spending 2 hours to get a filter out i dont want to spend another hour or 2 cleaning it considering i gotta put it back in

So basically, I should definately clean this one, it's been in a little over a year.

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.
