Maintaining K&N filter

[Bibill]

Hi everyone,

 

May I know how to maintain and take care of my K&N filter? Thanks.

Hi,

 

U need to clean e filter at ard 50k. The best way to see whether e filter needs to be cleaned is to chk whether there is a layer of dirt coated onto e filter. Take note that only K&N cleaning solution and oil must be used on the filter to avoid damage. Do not over-oil the filter.

 

Refer to http://knfilters.com/faq.htm for more details

i think it is also advisable to swap ur knn filter wif the stock one provided when sending the car for servicing at agent's workshop . reason being, when i sent my car for 1K km sevicing,i saw the mechanics at autolution blowclean someone knn filter!

So where can I get the cleaning solution and oil cheap? Thanks!

saw a set at autobacs, forgot the price though, shouldn't be more than $20. anyway autobacs is having a sale. alternatively you can buy the solution from the shop which sold u the filter.

Oh yeah...I even heard some fellows at workshop throw away the K&N filter and replace it with a lousy one!!....

 

My ride is already more than 3 years...so ok..no more agent...and my mechanic will not be so also....

[Slowjack]

stoopid mechanics , especially those apprentice or sin chow ones. actually, knn filters can last throughout your car's lifetime, if proper car is taken.

remember to clean more frequently if u r using CAI...more dusty without resonator too

Dun assume outside mechanics r any smarter than agent's. My previous car sent to agent authorised workshop (AAS approved workshop somemore), had my K&N label pasted on the airbox wif the warning sticker clearly visible. The dodo 'mechanic' took out the k&n and was gonna pressure blow it clean. Luckily stopped him in time as i suspected they would do something like this. Worse part is after i tell him to stop coz it'a a k&n, he asked me... "what is a k&n filter?"....
