How to Clean K&N Cabin Air Filters | OFFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS

[@endopaxd.5195]

More effective than using K&N Cabin Air Filter Cleaner or Simple Green or other spray cleaners is soaking the filter in a plastic tub or a sink filled with Dawn and hot water. The Dawn solution will reach into every nook and crevice of the filter and remove particulate matter and grease. Spray cleaners will never match this. I do think the K&N Refresher, which can be purchased separately and sprayed on both sides of the filter, is still the best way to enhance the electrostatic properties of the washed filter.

You don't say if you spray the refresher on both sides or just one side, if one side, which side?

[@kyleburgess780]

It literally says “so that the ENTIRE air filter media is treated”.

[@ShuffleToExpresss]

@@kyleburgess780text instructions online are also not specific. In the video, the dude is only spraying one side so I see the confusion.

[@ROMANEMPIRE69]

Just spray both sides. 😜

[@JL99ish]

How necessary is buying the additional sprays? Can I just wash the filter manually with water and dry it out?

[@farhanshah1903]

I have a similar question too​@@JL99ish

[@MisterAnthony209]

Do i wai for the air filter refresher to totally dry before installation or install when still wet/damp with refresher?

[@KDohermann]

Dry completely

How often do I need to clean the cabin air filter?

[@KNfilters]

The cleaning interval varies depending on your driving conditions. For typical on-road driving you can drive up to 25,000 miles before servicing. If you need help deciding if it's time to clean your filter, please feel free to contact our Product Specialists at 800-858-3333 or [e-mail]

Damn. I messed that up. I used the air filter to clean it.

[@TraeTheGreat]

Tell me why I was just about to use that 😮😂

[@KNfilters]

The automotive cleaner is very different, please make sure to use K&N Cabin Air Filter cleaner on cabin filters www.knfilters.com/99-6000-cabin-filter-cleaning-care-kit If you have any concerns or feel you may have damaged your filter please contact our Product Specialists at 800-858-3333 or [e-mail].

Is the cabin air filter 'refresher' actually any different from the red engine air filter oil? I purchased a vehicle that has a K&N cabin air filter, but I have several cans of engine air filter cleaner and oil from other vehicles.

[@KNfilters]

The cleaning solution for the engine and cabin filters are very different. Please make sure to use the correct cleaner to avoid damaging the filter, and never apply filter oil to cabin filters (the oil is for high-flow engine filters only). If you have any other questions please feel free to contact our product specialists at 800-858-3333 or [e-mail]

If you car has a plastic tray. There is only one way it can go in. Also the filter usually has a cut out on on side that suppose to mate with the tray.
