A NOTATION - you can spray it from either side, I saw a test years back that showed it did not matter. Its cotton which absorbs through regardless which way its sprayed. yes directions will say to spray from intake side, that would be side where the dirt and bugs are gathered. if it makes you feel better do it that way, but there really is no difference AS LONG AS YOU DONT DROWN IT with fluid. just coat it and be done. thanks
@jeffjackson96794 жыл бұрын
That would make sense as your MAF sensor is right after the airfilter and any excess oil can mess it up.

I use a K&N filter myself, and I gotta say, it’s one of the best preventative maintenance investments I’ve made for my Jeep, noticing a significant difference in fuel economy. I was even told to clean every 50,000 miles, but I personally prefer to clean it once a year regardless of mileage considering all the filth it accumulates over time. I actually got mine drying as I’m writing this

Good how to video. What's messed up is I've been using and promoting k&n air filter for years I've installed them on several different vehicles I've have an O2 Silverado and a 06 Cadillac DTS. I recently joined a forum for the Cadillac because it's a new to me vehicle and way out of my understanding or comfort zone for knowing how to do everything on it so to speak. A member posted a video that was very informative about how not to use k&n filters that they don't give you the best air flow. It was done by an independent source that wasn't paid by anybody. I had already invested in the air filter and something I didn't know was that k&n came out with a cabin air filter and I replaced my car's cabin air filter with it. It really hasn't changed my gas mileage per se and it definitely did not go down and like it was mentioned having a reusable air filter minus the upfront expense really saves you money in the long run.

I'm getting typical chevy p0300 random misfire on the highway after my 5.3 swap. One thing I noticed was my new k&n looks dry white like your example. Doubt there's adequate oil on there which could let bugs and dirt shoot all up inside the motor at highway speed. I'm going to oil the outside of my cone to prevent it getting to the Maf. Theres also the question of cone filter vs k&n drop in - since most vehicles have a stock cold air system with how the ducting directs air to the filter

Yeah.....last time I sprayed oil on both sides. The oil on the top side ended up messing with my intake and I ended up paying a shop to clean my intake and throttle body. This time before I sprayed the oil while the filter was drying, I took a rag and cleaned all the black gunk from the bottom of the air box. I'm now only spraying the underside of the filter and went lighter this time.

Should I have a temporary paper one to run errands while the filter thoroughly dries before recharging?
@roger43753 жыл бұрын
This seems like a LOT of trouble to have the privilege of buying a K&N air filter. The filter is expensive, the cleaning solution and oil is an added expense, you still need a paper filter to be able to use your vehicle and the entire process from removing the dirty filter to cleaning it and reinstalling it can span a couple of days. The entire garden hose thing wouldn’t work where I live in the north where it snows and freezes. I’d rather just buy a cheaper one and toss it when it gets dirty rather than go through all this mess. Sorry I’m not a buyer. The video was excellent though and well thought out. Thanks.

You missed the point on the Filter sir it saves you money overall, how much depends kinda how much you drive I know they should be good for 200,000 miles but i still would replace anything at 100,000 you get a cheap kit for like 20 more dollars all together you spent 70 maybe 80 maybe less depending where you live. And as a man you should have simple tools like something to at the minimum get a car battery or to get a alternator off because don’t tell me you spend extra money on a tow for something that simple you already said you didn’t like the added expenses. It does save money it does take time but I mean what doesn’t if you really feel that way then be proactive and get a paper one before you take out the KN and I personally don’t change mine for 7,000 miles and it’s usually never dirty or caused my car any problems. I’m not mechanic but I do know how to do the simple things for free rather than keep spending money

@Ben Jacobs yea i noticed the same thing...Air filter was pink/red both sides out of the box but now that i washed it and srayed the oil from the intake side ,the engine side isn't so much red. I think it depends on whether you cleaned the filter very good to become white before you re-oil it

Im certain dish soap + water bath would suffice for cleaning then applying some air filter oil after it dries. About to do a first time clean myself.. been researching extensively. That spray bottle cleaner is most certainly a marketing gimmick

the cleaner and oil is also so bad for your health. the warning labels all over it is scary.

Is it correct that I should spray the oil evenly on the smaller side (the dirty side). How can I tell if I overspray the filter and how to avoid it? Thank you
@vegasdavetv4 жыл бұрын
a quick spray across covering all of the filter us good, don't over spray. it should show reddish on filter as color

How many times can you clean and reuse these filters?
