How to Clean and Re-Oil Your Air Filter

Рет қаралды 481,469

Күн бұрын

One of the most commonly asked questions in our service center is, “How do I clean my air filter?” In this tutorial, we explain the differences between oiled and dry filters, as well as how to clean and re-oil them. We’ve even created a free re-oiling calculator so you know precisely how much oil to use. You'll come across people online complaining about oil filters caking up their MAF sensor located in their air intake tube. This occurs only when filters are improperly oiled. In this video, we’ll show you the right way to do it so this doesn't occur. If properly cared for, your Ram-Air filter element should last years and years.

Excellent video. Much better explanation than what Ive seen elsewhere. One comment, The new K&N oil bottles, that I just received today, do not come with the volumetric graduation on the side. This caused me to mess up on my first try. I ended up dumping the bottle out and putting a measured amount back in. But with no visual means of telling how much I was putting on, I found I emptied the bottle after only going around 1/3 of the way. Consequently I had to re-wash and now waiting for it to dry. But my car has two filters so on the second filter I speed up the application and did every other pleat. With every other pleat oiled I continued on to the pleats in between and ran out just as I competed the full turn. Doing every other pleat helps keeping from over oiling, as shown in the video it will wick quickly to the rest of the pleats if you run out.

Throughout the years I had both dry and oiled filters. Truthfully, I didn't see a difference in performance one vs the other. Than again, I'm not racing my trucks at the track. The oiled obviously requires a bit more attention. It's also not a bad idea to have a secondary filter to throw in interm, while the other drys properly.

Make sure to clean your MAF after a few 100 miles with a wet filter when first installing or re-oiling. Found that out a LONG time ago when i first installed one on a Supra i had back in the early 00's. My throttle response was off and MPG in city driving was poor. Checked for intake leaks and noticed the intake runners had a very light film on them, traced it back to the filter and cleaned the MAF fixing the issues.

I do this by applying oil across the length of every pleat, start to end. The nozzle of the oil bottle seems ideal for this. It's a quite easy process. If you increase boost, you can use sensors across the air intake path in order to measure the pressure drop at every stage. If your OEM filter proves to be too restrictive, I am in favour of an aftermarket like K&N. Caterpillar marine engines use such filters from the factory. But if you drive in dusty/desert conditions, maybe better stick with OEM filter and change more often, before pressure drop becomes too much causing increased fuel consumption, reduced performance and sucking turbo cartridge oil in the intake.

So I own two BANKS oiled filter and the prefilter sac, because I prefer to hot swap every 25k (km). cleaning large debris and bugs got way easier with pre filter. but I have questions/comments 1: what happens if you over oil (just more restrictive?) 2: it'll be hard to explain, but I utilize that little lip on the KnN oil jugs nozzle. Place it inside of the pleats with the oil hole ot the edge of the pleat, than depending on the direction of travel, turn the bottle slightly so you barley drag rear of the lip against the pleat with the leading edge off the pleats as it will catch the mesh if it touches. This lip KnN provides on the bottle makes oiling each pleat individually a quick motion and fast to do. 3: I'm commenting before I investigate, but dose the calculator have BANK filters pre loaded?

If properly oiled, the air filters will work just fine. We generally recommend the oiled (red) filters over dry (grey) for two reasons. One, slightly better flow characteristics. They are somewhat thinner, more robust filter material for the oil and can grab more debris. Two, the service life. The oiled (red) filter can go up to 30k-40k miles before it has to be serviced (dry is about 25k miles). Either filter will last until about 100k miles.

It’s a great video as far as how to goes but for us consumers is a pocket drain. So I actually bought a 2nd banks dry filter so I can swap them easier between cleaning. $ well spent I guess?? But the least you could do is tell us how to properly clean it ourselves without having to fork out more $ on the K&N kit. The cleaning solution can be such a big deal. It actually smells like a lot of the cleaning liquids out there. I’m sure someone will eventually figure it out. The point is that one bottle of 32oz of K&N is barely enough to properly clean a Bank’s monster air filter. By the time I get done 2-3 rounds my finger hurts from that stupid spray pump and I can still see some small bugs in the filter…so it will never be perfect no matter how many times you clean it. But I don’t want to be buying all this cleaner crap from K&N which doesn’t even do the job properly. 🤷‍♂️

I don't think my car would benefit with k&n filter. Except from unintensionally lubricating my intake manifold. So, I'm sticking with paper oem filter
