Cleaning air filter

Hellloooo mates. Do you think we can wash the air filter instead of replace it? With the method of chris 4x4 for the a/c filter

 

It's a paper filter, right? I am doubtful that you can wash it successfully and still have it serve its purpose. I could be wrong.

 

they are easily and cheaply replaced. The K&N route is great for racing, but terrible for the street.

 

No. In a pinch, I'll take compressed air to it and blow it out if it looks dirty and I don't have a new one on hand but this isn't really a good practice. Paper air filters should just be discarded when they get dirty and replaced with a new one. If you want a washable filter look into an AFE filter.

 

Are you talking cabin air filter?

 

No air filter from the engine
Ok I'll buy one from TRD because it is washable and reusable

 

Where can I buy this filter? K&N better than TRD?

 

And the AFE? Where can I buy it? Better than TRD performance and washable filter?

 

Amazon or Autoanything.com. I don't know about better than TRD filters but if you want washable, they're a good option. I wouldn't buy K&N but that's just me. I don't think they do as good of a job. You're not going to get any noticable gains out of a filter, just the ability to wash it and reuse it. Personally, I just use OEM paper filters and throw them away when they're spent. I had a TRD filter for a while, didn't notice any gains and got rid of it because I didn't want to deal with washing it.
