Been using kn filters for 20 years this year.. Always been my first purchase when I get a new vehicle.. I've seen reviews stating they can be bad or not filter as good.. But I haven't seen anything in my oil samples that would suggest excess dirt is getting into the pistons and oil.. And my vehicles have gone 300k miles no issue.. I clean pretty often since I live in dusty west Texas usually twice a year.

@SCHIJTERBAAS 8 месяцев назад

@acc1tester398 check the filter. Is it dirty? Clean it. Also when you see the filter has lost the oil(red look) time to clean and apply oil layer again. Warning: do not put to much oil otherwise your maf sensor can be damage.

I just got the Toyota Trd air filter. I thought it was interesting because Toyota does no longer sell a cleaning kit. But right on the box as an official sticker, that actually says, use K&N cleaner, and oil. I suppose we know now that K&n makes these which is cool.

I have used K&N filters on my LPG powered Subaru and Mercedes 6 Cylinder engines for over 18 years, they totally kill the stuttering caused by LPG, at traffic lights and give a cleaner burn. Just to calm my nerves, I have always used the foam pre-filters an all vehicles. Just changing the ones on my Viano and S-Class , the Pre- Filters are worth their weight in Gold, after 60,000 miles the filter itself has very little dirt or wear on them. Highly recommend their use. PS, Thanks K&N for totally curing the LPG stutter. I will use nothing else.

Question What can you use on cabin air filter?

@DBLDQ 9 месяцев назад

How long after spraying would you recommend to wait before installing back in the vehicle? Also, would you recommend leaving it oil side up or down during that time?

@KNfilters 9 месяцев назад

You want to wait until the oil wicks into the material and creates a consistent color across the entire filter (it should be salmon red). The direction you set the filter to wick is not as important... however we recommend placing the oiled side up so that oil does not drip onto the ground and instead absorbs into the filter. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact our Product Specialists at 800-858-3333 or tech@knfilters.com

No. If you over oil the filter the oil can cover the MAF sensor and throw codes on your dash. Should not oil the inside at all, and only the intake side.

@KNfilters 3 месяца назад

Under normal highway driving conditions, you can go up to 75,000 miles before servicing. If driving in a dusty/dirty environment, consider cleaning sooner. If you need help determining if your filter needs to be cleaned Please contact our product specialists at 800-858-3333 or tech@knfilters.com.

@Zedthrills Месяц назад

What is the oil meant to do ?

@KNfilters Месяц назад

The oil traps and holds dirt/contaminants. When cleaning your filter, always reapply filter oil to ensure proper filtration performance. If you would prefer a filter without oil, we also sell oil-free Dryflow filters. For more information, please check out our website www.knfilters.com/air-filters

@lardtamps 6 месяцев назад

What's the dry time recomended before puting the oil

@KNfilters 6 месяцев назад

Drying time can vary depending on a number of factors. If the filter is still cool or damp to the touch, or if you test a small amount of oil in the corner of the filter and it runs off (instead of absorbing) you should allow the filter to continue drying. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact our Product Specialists at 800-858-3333 or tech@knfilters.com.

@Skancho 6 месяцев назад

After cleaning the filter, when you say dry. Do you mean fully dry? And not a bit damp? But Sahara desert dry?

@KNfilters 6 месяцев назад

Yes, the filter media must be completely dry so that the filter oil absorbs into the media. If the filter still feels cool/damp, or you apply a small amount of oil to one of the corners and it runs off then you need to let the filter continue drying. If you have any other questions or are looking for more cleaning tips please feel free to contact our Product Specialists at 800-858-3333 or tech@knfilters.com.
