Putting oil on k&n filter

Did i do this right I should be a light pink I think idk does it look like I oil this filter right

 

Looks about right but the best thing you can do is throw it in the trash and put a normal intake on it.

 

It came with the truck when I bought it so I'm kinda stuck with it till I put the stock one back on

 

I have (2) filters one on the truck and a clean and oiled filter ready for use !!!!

Cleaning .....

When cleaning spray the cleaner inside and out and then rinse from inside out . I will generally let the filter air dry a couple days


Oiling ....... they key to proper oiling is to lightly fog ea pleat using quick pass over ea pleat with the nozzle 8"-10" away ( you do not want to oversaturate)

I then let air dry for 5 days minimum if I'm going to install it


This is my spare filter .....

Cleaned ...







Oiled ...

 

You've got to much oil on it !!!!!

Nothing wrong with K&N filters , have been running them since the early 80's

 

With a towel wipe the filter media and rubber end pieces of excess oil then leave outside for a couple hours in direct sunlight to dry thoroughly

 

Thanks man what do u think about the k&n dry chargers

 

Like this !!!!!

 

Yes

 

That's mine and use the filter sock as I live in the Desert and it works very well !!!

 

I live mostly in the city even tho I there's not much dust do u think its okay to have it on for extra filtration?

 

Yes you can leave it on but would suggest pulling the pre filter off and cleaning it every 6 months to keep sufficient air flow into the filter !!!

 

okay thanks for the help man I really appreciate it

 

No problem !!!!!

 

I have a k and n on my Harley.
The only reason why is it self oils and I wash the oil out of it twice a year.
The Bike takes care of the oiling for me. Roflmao....
I wouldn’t run one of those at all otherwise.

I have almost 600,000 miles on my K&N filter setup with a supercharger.

Zero issues in 21 years.


Just spray the filter very lightly.

Do NOT over spray the filter

 

all that extra effort on an overpriced filter worth it?
