Here's a video on how to clean a K&N Air Filter. I have seen this done improperly in the past so I thought I'd share the process with you. Here's a summary of the cleaning process.

Some good info here, but there are two things you aught to know: 1) wear gloves, read the label, the cleaner and oil are toxic. 2) after rinsing with low pressure water, you may still have loose dirt on the filter. You can jar it loose by dropping the filter on a hard surface, intake side down, several times. The force of the blow will knock a lot of the loose dirt off. Then rinse again, let dry, then oil.

I was doing the opposite and that's why it was failing. I'm going to do it the Right way this time and hopefully I don't need to clean the sensor as much.

Wow lots of comments. With respect to cost, those of us that ride motorcycles probably make out costwise. Performance- I am not sure, I have a couple, one on a Chevy Tracker the other on the M/C (the later put on by my motorcycle mechanic), I put the filters on while doing a maintenance tune so couldn't tell. It is a little more work and if that's an issue stick with paper. I used my shop vac on the dirty side before cleaning it, the filter is really sturdy. The video is good (thanks) been remiss in cleaning mine so needed a review.
@andrewjohn6853
@andrewjohn6853 5 жыл бұрын
The performance gain would be so minimal literally you wouldn't notice it. In fact the difference between driving your car on a cold morning and mid day with temp difference of 4 celsius or 49 Fahrenheit would be more noticeable and that would only be producing say 1 hp more at the wheels in the morning. The benefit to these filters is they last longer and are better at filtering with only marginally better airflow.

Good vid. I think I felt a very slight improvement in hp and mileage in my 2012 g37xS coupe. However the main reason I bought these is the cost saving. My car takes 2 air filters, so it did cost me $100 to buy 2 of these ($50 each) but now I won't have to buy new filters for the next 50k-100k miles since I can just clean them.

If you do the math it's going to take you 3 years to recoup the cost, as a k&n filter with the cleaning kit is about 3 times the cost of a normal air filter. And even then, you have to ask, is that $20 or so you are saving a year really worth the hassle? Plus you have to be careful not to over oil the filter or your MAF sensor will go out on you.

WTF !?? WHY in hell would you NOT follow the Manufacturer's Instructions !?? Mostly eevery complaint with the K & N Air Filters is due to people NOT FOLLOWING the INSTRCTIONS exactly as written. There are NO SHORT CUTS or "ALTERNATE METHODS" for servicing the K &N Air Filter. 😁

Sadly, they were trying to sell me an inferior filter I didn't need. When I took my filter out today to clean it, it's not even the filter they showed me yesterday. Just shows you the importance of knowing your car! I hope you keep making videos & share you knowledge.

A couple added things you're going to need to do it probably twice depending on how dirty it is Hold it up to a light after you're done with the first application and cleaning it out and see what's still left in there cuz I guarantee stuff will still be in there. Carefully pick stuff out of there with a I used a small wooden dowel you can use a toothpick just be careful. Lastly get yourself a cheap air filter to put in for a couple days while you let it dry.

Lol it's an air filter guys, not a turbocharger. Air filters dont add HP or TQ. And it it does it's negligible in terms of a Butt Dyno. JP so Chrysler's that can push 350k+ is a waste? I think not. Got our Chrysler van up to almost 350k before I sold it and when I did it had the same get up and go it always had with the 3.8l. I bet it'll keep going to at least 400k. I have a K&N in the family Pilot and it feels the same to me. But again, we are talking a fuckin replacement air filter, not a super/turbo charger or NOS for that matter. May as well say you got +20hp after installing a replacement wheel bearing or a replacement serpentine belt 😂😂😝😜

Great instructions Jeff. Thanks for posting! I'm guessing using an air compressor from the throttle-body side of the filter (for cleaning and drying) would also be a bad idea? K&N service part numbers for those wanting to know are: *#99-5050* = Complete Cleaning and Recharge Kit *#99-0533* = Squeeze Oil *#99-5000* = Aerosol Oil *#99-0606* = Air-filter Cleaner K&N recommends doing this cleaning procedure every 50k miles. Only use cold water to rinse, only oil the crown of each filter pleat and allow 20mins to wick.

Honestly my dad was insisting that I gotta toss the filter but being it was $50 and I knew it was washable. This is a perfect tutorial showing the way to do it! Remember guys it can get bad over time but if you maintain it every other oil change it’s good to go!🔥
