When cleaning a K&N filter, you should flow the air/water from the inside to the outside. By blowing it from the outside in, you are pushing the junk further into the filter material.

@israelr6636 Год назад

Awesome information and very useful video. Thank you.

Fill a bucket with warm soapy water , put the filter in with the open end up and spin with your hand back and forth for a couple of minutes. Wash with the hose from inside and sit it on the clothesline to dry , done . Tip the water out of the bucket and see what came out.

I have utilized both oiled and dry aftermarket filters in several different cars and trucks and oiled is the way to go. I don’t like the aerosol spray oils as I feel it wastes some. MainTENance every 10k.

@ChuckG92 Год назад

Aaaand the K&N instructions specifically say to NOT use compressed air to dry their filters...

Год назад

That too made me cringe a little. In addition to rinsing from the outside, basically further embedding the finer debris this filter caught.

Aaaand......he only blew off the part where water was pooling with very low psi.

@ lol that low pressure water isnt embedding any dirt. Ur delusional.

@@executiveinvestments Oh great, here comes the annoying teenage internet warrior, calling people names and surely has facts to support their argument(s). It's not like the manufacturer of these products have a clue and give solid recommendations on how to service their products that, in good faith of believing, they poured R&D into and made. Surely not.

I prefer the dry filter and it can be cleaned with a cleaning kit no need to replace it.

@AtticAZ Год назад

Dry flow; the way to go.

The instructions say to rinse from the inside out. If you rinse like you did in the video demo here, you risk further embedding the debris that the filter caught. I assume K&N has these specific instructions since rinsing from the inside-out will encourage the debris out with the help of the provided soap.

@cjponyparts Год назад

With low pressure water there is very little chance of forcing any debris in. I have always cleaned the outside to get some cleaner off and then inside out at the end to remove anything left behind. I was shown this method by a filter company many years ago. By all means clean it any way you feel comfortable.

@tedjones-ho2zk Год назад

Thinking the same thing, should be washed inside to flush out. Also using compressed air is a no no.

Год назад

@@tedjones-ho2zk The compressed air thing eludes me as to why that's a no. Is it due to the risk of punching holes in the filter material? If so, perhaps something like an air blade would be better suited for flash drying. I have a C&L intake with a monster sized filter that I oiled. Whenever I clean it, I put the filter on top of a blower box I made with a heater fan blowing through it. That generally gets that thing dry in just 3hrs.

@ami2846 9 месяцев назад

I have a Nissan Sunny 2015 (Middle East model). The manual says I can use “dry paper” for dusty conditions, and the other option is “viscous paper type”. Is the latter the same as the oiled filter you’re talking about?

What is the replacement filter, for the Rousch CAI? Part# or measurements. Thanks

I recently changed my air filter on my 2018 Mazda 6 2.5L Skyactive. I was getting 33.7mpg with the K&N and now I am getting 34.7mpg with a Purolator One filter after 1000miles. These mpg ratings are per the car's computer.

@mrau92me 3 месяца назад

Just about every car computer gas mileage estimate I've tested gives an inflated estimate. The average gas mileage is always higher than doing it the tried and true way. To check it the most exact way, zero your trip meter when you fill up, then the next time you fill up (if possible, use the same gas pump or at least gas station), fill the tank letting the auto shut-off do its thing and add no more fuel, then take the number of gallons you added and divide it by the reading on your trip meter. It's also best for consistency to refill at roughly the same level of emptiness per your gas gauge.

@jamescampolo7824 3 месяца назад

I agree, but if the computer has been reading 33 mpg for years and you change the air filter and the mileage goes up one mpg it's the filter. The computer is using the same baseline parameters before and after.

@chrisbusch1970 7 месяцев назад

you can clean the dry filters in the same way

@lobbyrobby Год назад

Coke for taste except they went woke so now it's Pepsi I guess. I don't drink either anymore so the correct answer is oiled filter connected to the supercharger.
