I cleaned my filters today....I was inspired to upload these pics 'cause I've heard of many car owners cleaning their K&N filters using soap water and a high pressure air hose :shock:

THIS IS BEFORE CLEANING

REMOVE DEBRIS USING A HAND BRUSH

SPRAY K&N FILTER CLEANER...LET SOAK FOR 10 MINUTES

RINSE OFF USING LOW PRESSURE...FROM INSIDE OUT...NO COMPRESSED AIR OR HIGH PRESSURE WATER :!:

ALLOW TO DRY NATURALLY ....NO OVEN ...NO HAIR DRYER.. :!:

USE THE RECOMMENDED K&N FILTER OIL BEFORE USING....NEVER USE ENGINE OIL, WD40 OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF LUBRICANT :!:

USE THE "POLISH IN A TUBE" TO KEEP YOUR INTAKE PIPE NEW AND SHINY :twisted:

Ahh boy that is the damn thing self. I always hear people using compressed air to clean it out... that does damage trhe filter and push dirt INTO the filter. Right now I need to get some more cleaner... that finishes first but the oil last longer

Yeah tappet pan and/or crankcase breather, either of these that normally are vented to the intake path, by putting them on a separate filter you can have less oil fumes in the intake.

This thread should really be made a sticky for ppl who will come along later and ask the same question about cleaning K&N filters. FAQ it or something, just keep it around for others' reference.

One other question, does the oil have to dry totally before you put it back in?

hoss that filter still looking dirty :lol:

K&Ns only look pink when they are new. When they get older. even if they are clean they look darker, almost grey.

hahahaha......pink :twisted:

Anyways......after you spray the cleaned filter with K&N oil you have to leave it to soak in the oil for 20 minutes before installing or using it :!:

I had it running for about 6 months - 10000km before I had it cleaned.

It was also visibly dirty
