K&N Cleaning

Well its time to clean my CAI filter, its very dirty. Do any of you guy know what I need to do to clean it besides spraying it with a hose, i know i probably need oil cause K&N uses a filter that requires a oiled filter. So any info will help or else Im gonna just go buy a new filter for it

 

Buy the k&n filter re charge kit

 

Thanks, is it available at autozone or o'reileys autoparts

 

Ya

 

Awesome thanks dude!

 

No prob man,that's what were all here for!

Make sure it's dry before u re-oil it

 

Haha ill be sure to do that, wouldnt want to hydrolock my engine or ruin the MAF sensor

 

Ya NO-BUENO

 

Be careful not to over-oil it as well. All you need is a few drops. Over-oiling can mess up your MAF sensor

 

^ a few drops? its a spray can...and as long as you hold the can about 10-12" away and make even sprays and not to much to where it'll drip off you will be ok.

 

You are right, that was dumb way for me to phrase "a little bit".

 

I actually took some compressed air and blew from the inside out. It got a bunch of the dust out, then washed with warm water. As soon as it was dry, I used the recharge kit and applied the red oil.

Works like a charm

 

clean kit at autozone

 

Do I need to apply oil to the inside of the filter like the inner surface? I'm about to start cleaning it

 

Im a little late to the party, but answer: No, dont oil inside
