Pro tip...buy two filters. I take mine off the truck and install the new one... done. Then I get the other one washed. I use hot water in the sink and a tooth brush for the grooves after spraying it with 50pct purple power and 50 pct water. Rinse it all out and let dry like dishes and pit back in the box with the K and N red oil

Well, my Intake has 2 filters, so I need to buy 2 more?!

K&N recommends cleaning the cone style at approximately every 100k miles under normal driving conditions. Keep in mind that they make a profit every time you buy a recharge kit, so if anything, they'd be motivated to shorten the interval. They also warn against cleaning it too frequently.

Oiled filters are old, ridiculous technology. Note how the serious off-roaders need to install "a diaper" on their oiled air filters by K&N. The best solution, is simply buy the direct fit/replacement DRY filters made by INJEN TECHNOLOGIES. It's a durable, permanent filter, high quality, guaranteed for life. Ya simply blow it from the inside out using compressed air, followed by using a vacuum cleaner or shop vac from the outside, once every 20k to 30k miles, and you're all done. No need to worry with messy oil. Ask yourself: just how dirty does "an oil bath air filter" get during that 100k miles. Your engine isn't getting as much air flow........not to mention the high risk of gumming up a mass air flow sensor due to the need of using oil in a damned air filter. Happens all the time. There's a reason why ALL auto makers and air filter manufacturers got away from "oil bath" air filters decades ago. OIL ATTRACTS DIRT. And once the oil attracts enough dirt, it is now restricting air flow to your engine and performance is down. Think about that.

You should NOT spray the oil on both sides, or double coat. The oil should be a light covering on the intake side so the Mass Air Flow sensor does not give false readings. Also the cleaner should be sprayed on the intake side, and washed out from the exhaust side. This gives you the best performance for your K&N filters

Dude, get rid of that damned oiled filter by K&N and buy a good direct fit/replacement DRY filter from Injen Technologies. Very high quality, permanent, guaranteed for life. They call it their SuperNano-Web technology. Ya only have to blow it from the inside out with compressed air, followed by using a vacuum cleaner or shop vac to clean it from the outside, and you're all done. Normal use requires cleaning only once every 20k to 30k miles. More often for severe off-road use or dusty/dirty environments of course. NO MORE GUMMING UP YOUR MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR DUE TO USING THAT STUPID OLD TECHNOLOGY "OIL BATH AIR FILTER" TECHNOLOGY USED BY K&N. Besides, OIL ATTRACTS DIRT. Think about that. Notice all the K&N off road users needing to install protective "diapers" on their oiled K&N filters. Ask yourself: Why do ya think ALL of the auto makers & air filter manufacturers got the hell away from "oil bath" air filters decades ago. It's ridiculous.

If you wanna do this process overnight, make sure to recheck your filter if it's completely dried. Mine didn't dry completely so I had to use blow dryer to take that liquid evaporated. Also...do not use too much oil like this dude. Lightly coat it twice and don't look back afterwards. or you'll get check engine light.

In the really old days, “oil bath air intake” actually used baffles to direct intake air at/thru a pool of oil. The oil absorbed the dirt from the intake air and voila. Sort of a good system at low speeds and with the oil at the right amount, changed frequently. The (typically) cone filters with oil sprayed on have a lot of surface area due to the many folds. Resistance to flow if all else is the same is measured by surface area. Oiling the surface increases cleaning effectiveness but does add resistance to flow. If the filter is cleaned as needed (prescriptively) and oiled lightly but thoroughly it will work very well. The extra surface area compensates for the resistance to flow of the light oiling. Any type of filter used will need maintenance to remain effective. It’s a choice….

Oh shit that's my city. Subbed

I'm assuming this product can be used for a Weapon-R reusable CAI filter (I have one pre-installed in my vehicle)? It looks very similar... I'm not sure if it's an oiled or dry filter though. 🤔

When installing this filter, does the MAP sensor need to be be re-programmed? What about the exhaust system...does anything need to be change there?

K&N also makes Universal Clam On Air Filters. For more air flow using a Dry Flow Air Filter May give you a tiny bit of boost which K&N also sells in a universal application. With dry flow you get more air flow but more cleaning as well.

@NateRider

you should reoil your filter for it to work properly. The material used for the intake needs the oil to catch the dirt from going in your engine as well as letting air through

@DehTastic

5 жыл бұрын

Michael Wuerstlin The purpose of the oil is to catch the smaller particular of finer dust and create a webbing basically to initially start catching bigger fine dust and dirt particles. However not all air filters use an oil based application. Some are dry flow filters which don’t use oil but allow for increased air flow and can still clean the air just not as well as the oiled air filter. K&N sells dry and oil based Air Filters and have available Pre-chargers to give an extra boost of protection.

Warm Soapy wooder. This is the cheap way that works just as good. Take a spray bottle with warm water and dawn. Spray the filter down outside, let it sit for a while spraying every few minutes. After about half an hour, start washing out from the inside of the filter out. Dawn is a very gentle degreaser that's nontoxic too, so personally I like my method. Just repeat this process 2-4 times until you stop getting gunk in the water, and then air dry overnight, or, like he said, air dryer. After it is dry, go and reapply intake filter oil. Thin layer of oil on the outside of the filter, do it twice.

@barrystein5740

This is what i may do. Dawn is a gentle de-greaser. Environmentalist use on oil soaked water fowl and it works great for that purpose. I also use Dawn to clean my factory alloy wheels...works like a champ...little agitation needed. But I wonder...instead of spraying the filter with Dawn...how about a 50/50 mixture Dawn to water in a bucket and soak the filter for a few minutes then rinse it. I'm thinking it should have the same results......thoughts.

Nate I have a question, so my mother has one of these under the hood on her 2003 four Thunderbird engine! And the filter and the area around it is filthy with soot!!! What can I do why is it doing that?

I can't get the damn filter out. Mine does not pop right out - I loosened the screw for the metallic ring and it won't budge. I guess I need to just really forcefully yank it off? Is there anything else I need to loosen?
