I would learn more, quicker if all KZread videos were like this. Perfect thank you. 👍👍

Thank you VERY MUCH for the really helpful video - I was NOT looking forward to this task. I took before and after photos, and 3rd after I oiled it. Looks great. Hope it works great too! NOTE! Going to leave firing up my SUV for a while. I plan on removing the cover and seeing if I was too enthusiastic with the oil and will mop up any drippings before I go anywhere.

Something worth noting if you live in a colder clomate : ghe flexible rubber end which goes over the intake "pipe" is sensitive to temperature and can become very rigid when cold. I have had to use a heatgun to soften it up for removal , hot water was also helpful for reinstallation

A buddy of mine has K&N filters on his vintage motorcycle and he uses a high pressure air blow gun to clean them (K&N recommends NEVER use compressed air) - this is a BIG NO NO. It destroys the gauze fibers and there is nothing left but the wire cage! Yea, plenty of air flow, just zero filtering. Excellent video by the way - I'll show this to my students.

I wish I would’ve watched this video before I did that

Today was the first time I cleaned my K&N filter. I think i did a pretty good job, but i wish I had watched this video lol.

Great vid very informative! I'd like also like to add as you mentioned spray on the pleats and do not worry about getting it completely red the first time as the oil will wick itself into the small corners etc. I made the mistake of over oiling my filter the very first time using the square bottle . 3k miles later, my car started revving higher than usual during acceleration almost as if my trans was slipping, popped my hood took a look and sure enough small amount of air filter oil puddling near my pcm, (my air filter sits on top of my pcm) . I was skeptical but i figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. Re-cleaned my air filter went with the oil spray bottle instead and went easy on it. Cleaned my MAF with MAF cleaner. Threw it all back together. And BAM my car drove back to normal. ALSO..if you happen to drive a boosted car and experience a sudden lack of boost, take a look at your air filter before tearing other stuff apart.

Great video my man! Just bought a motorcycle that has a k&n filter. I've never had one before so this was helpful.

I use a leaf blower and the side of my shed, on asphalt and let it run 10-15mins no throttle and that usually completely dries it out 100%

I've been doing the same as another guy here and buying new filters, but at a hundred bucks a pop I'd been meaning to clean mine this time instead. So thanks for the guide!

Oh yeah, Its way to expensive to keep buying them. Cleaning is way better. I'm glad it helped you out.

Thanks so much ! This is very helpful as my eyes even with my glasses on can’t read the tiny instructions in the can and bottle. So that’s why I found this video ! Btw I had a great laugh 😂at the ‘drying’ segment. The ‘air guitar’ 🎸 was absolutely my favourite! @6:20 a good tip he made, check clamps, and do a visual inspection and go over everything with a screwdriver checking for tightness. I pressed my fan belts and air con belt and found a fair amount of flex, so I’m glad I took a couple of minutes to inspect other things like hoses (condition) while replacing air filter. Also oil, power steering and brake fluid levels and coolant level in the coolant reservoir. (Take reservoir containers cap off and look in side, as the plastic container can become stained and a false level can be given from only looking from the outside). Always take the radiator cap off (with cold engine) and check coolant level as an air bubble in the hose from reservoir to radiator can prevent coolant from topping up the radiator.

😂 I like the way you dry your filter. Thanks for your humor.

Thank you. Thats the main reason I wanted to make the video. K&N explain it but I didn't feel its thorough enough.

I’d also recommend getting a pre-filter. It’s sort of like a super thin sock that goes over the cone filter to keep really big things from getting trapped in the pleats like bugs and leafs.

Let me add this: Make sure you look closely between the pleats. Washing alone will not remove trash deeply embedded between the pleats. I use visual inspection. Then I remove some debris with forceps and/or I will stand the cone up and rinse it carefully from top to bottom. If this damages your filter, you might want to buy a better filter!

Should wait and let the oil seat/set before reinstalling or at least before you start your vehicle. I use two filters, one on the car and one cleaned and ready in a box waiting till the next filter change. When I take the old one off, I put the prepared one on immediately. If I wanted to drive my truck, I can at any time. This way after cleaning the dirty one, I have plenty of time to let it dry. Then I apply the oil and place it in a Ziplock gallon sized bag and place it in a box on the shelf. It sits there ready to go for the next change.

Installing the filter and idling your car a few minutes speeds up the drying process. :)

If you have a dehumidifier, put it in a small bathroom or closet and set the rinsed filters near the vents. Depending on the dehumidifier and room size, this works pretty fast.
