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.

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

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.
