What do you use to clean your k&N and do you oil it or just clean it?

 

get the k&n recharge kit. it includes the cleaner and the oil, u need both the oil is what helps catch the small dirt particals.

 

If you shop around, you can find the recharge kit on sale for $7-$8 (they sell them everywhere they sell K&N filters). It uses an amonia based cleaning solution. Depending on the size of the filter, you can get two - three cleans out of one kit (and still have some oil left over).

 

how often should be cleaning are k&n's

 

Cleaned mine every third oil change. BUT, that is depending on your environmental conditions and how much you drive it. That was on my mustang which was a Friday through Sunday car. Check it and use you best judgement.

 

K&N's filter better the dirtier they get. Don't clean it too often. It can trap a lot of dirt before it's efficiency rating drops off.

 

the recharge kits. are the thing you really need i need to buy a couple for my vehicles

 

It's important to follow the direction on the kit...let it dry completely before you oil it up....my MAF sensor threw a code after doing mine....had to pull it and clean it afterwards.???
