How to Clean and Oil a Burger Motorsports Intake - Blue or Red Oil - Looks like new! N55, N54, etc

[@mikflurry98]

Can you use K&N cleaning products and oil? (Have it laying around that's why I'm wondering)

[@BtwilliasGarage]

I don't see why not. I would have done the same if I didn't give them to the guy I sold my intake too

[@rumrunner8260]

I was wondering the same! I found a K&N cleaning kit in my garage.

[@Outside-films]

I have the red k&n oil and the blue bms intake filter is that okay to use?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

@Aquatic640 yeah it will be fine, just try to clean the blue off well and you will be going to red

[@treyvergano9812]

How often should we clean it? I have the blue bms intake for my n55 it’s starting to look black 😂

[@BtwilliasGarage]

That depends on how much pollen, dust, dirt etc you deal with and how many miles you drive, but a good rule of thumb is once a year

[@DJIMRANNYC]

I have the blue filter can I use the red oil instead of blue. Just a color change after cleaning it?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Yeah just clean it real good. Maybe even 2 cycles. The new color will stick

[@bradbrowne4987]

Hey man I washed mine and put them back on fine but my blow off sound is completely gone…. Would you know why??

[@BtwilliasGarage]

This is the first I have heard of this. Make sure you clamped it back on correctly and recheck all hoses near the intake itself

[@RagingBull721]

Is it bad to use red k and n oil on a blue spectre air intake

[@BtwilliasGarage]

I'm not familiar enough with Spectre to answer, but if it is a filter that is oiled then it's probably fine. Just let it properly dry

[@shad3128]

Can you just blow it out with a compressor instead of having it sit for that long in the sun? Just curious lol

[@BtwilliasGarage]

You could, but it would not be as clean. It would be better than nothing. Blow inside to outside if you do!

[@davidespinoza1315]

Instructions from SB specifically states: DO NOT use compressed air, a dryer or other heating devices to try to dry the filter.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Good insight. Thank you

[@patricioelosua5886]

Hey man! Could you link the table with the oil quantities? I can't seem to find it on their website. I have the same intake as you, but a friend has an N54 with BMS intake as well, not sure if that would be 33grams on each cone or something different. Thanks! *EDIT* Saw this is ln BMS website not sb. For anyone looking for it just look up SB intakes oil quantity BMS and it'll pop right up.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Yes sir, glad you found it. Here it is for everyone's convenience Oil quantities for BMS filters: N55 intake filter - 33 grams N54 DCI - each filter - 37 grams on the main filter element and 7 grams on the inverted cone S55 filters - each filter - 26 grams for the main filter and 7 grams on the inverted cone B46/B48/B58 filters - 26 grams for the main filter and 7 grams on the inverted cone F150/Raptor filter - 80 grams

[@eskania]

Why did you go with BMS not AFE. I have heard those intake dont give any power.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

I've hear that too. I may switch it up. That purchase was made way before I knew what I would be doing with this car. Good question

[@prevaloir5362]

For me I got it used for over half off and I can get their catch can for a clean look. Not to mention the sounds worth it IMO.

[@dedan2]

What's the purpose of re-oiling?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

The oil helps to capture dirt and grime. It also gives it the nice color (not performance related)

[@dedan2]

Thanks. I have the same filter in my 435i. Will reoil now. Didn't find the precision kit, but will use another one

[@antonio36o36]

How long did you wait to put it back on the car after you oiled it?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Around 12 hrs

[@antonio36o36]

@@BtwilliasGarage ok cool thanks!

[@bmw325ia]

How often these should be cleaned?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Every 10k or so I believe. Depends on pollen and dust. I normally do it once it loses significant color

[@midwestbmw1292]

Doing this on my E92 and I’m pretty sure in the instructions it states that each tick mark on the applicator bottle equals 2.5 grams. I noticed in your video that you may have put 2.5x the needed amount of oil on your filter.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Good call trying to help, that would be bad to put 2.5x over. It would cause restriction and potentially damage maf sensors. The bottle I show 3/4 of the way through is marked by 10 gram measurements. Then the small notches are 2.5gs. Look again and you will see I did it correctly. In the manufacturers video they use 90gs which is about 3x mine. You can watch that here for peace of mind. She mentions about at 3:06 ish. Good luck with the cleaning! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn3anpxtfqhopqc

[@midwestbmw1292]

Btwillia's Garage thanks for the added clarity. My filter is drying in the sun as we type. Just wanna make sure I don’t mess it up. Cheers!

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Cheers man!

[@totljag1]

The spray was so much easier
