Default Re: K&N Filters (Soldiervette)

You clean K&N Filters when they get dirty, and by that I mean instead of a blue-ish color the filter will look black or gray. You should also notice that a bright light doesn't shine through the material part of the filter. Miles isn't what decides when a K&N needs to be cleaned, but rather the service its in and the dust and other debris it filters out of the air. Hopes this helps.

Huh???? I agree with K&N filter looking dirty and looking greyish, but the K&N material is not blue-ish (perhaps you are thinking of a Blackwing??). I usually follow the manufacturers suggestions. If you live or drive in a very dusty climate, you will need to clean your K&N quite regularly. I have not cleaned my K&N yet, but on my Infiniti QX4 with a K&N, I cleaned that air filter at 11,000 miles approximately.

Hope this helps... check out http://www.knfilters.com. :seeya
