aftermarket air filter

[geoffsgt]

How often do you clean your air filter? CAI, k&n drop in, whatever you have other than stock throw-away paper filter.

k&n has a filter recharger kit for ~$10 and you clean it off, spray some magical solution on it, let it dry, put some special oil on it and pop it back in.

^^ don't use that sh1t too much...your MAF won't like it

usually clean it once a year.

K&N - 1 time a year. After you clean it, let it dry, reoil, let the oil sit on there
for at least 1 hour so it can spread out and dry a bit..... then it wont hurt the MAF

I would suggest cleaning your MAF a few weeks after you clean the re-usuable filter. Always reset PCM after cleaning MAF.

just get that K&N filter cleaning kit and follow the instructions and give the oil about 1-1.5 hrs to dry up

oh sorry, I didn't read the question. you wanted to know how often. K&N recommends every 6 months. I usually get around to it every 9.

I had to clean my MAF about 6 times before the oil from the Factory oiled K&N Stopped fowling my MAF. A light covering is all you need...

I have a shaker so mine gets dirtier than most, I clean it every 5-10k and LIGHTLY spray it with filter oil.

Once a year, or when it gets extremely filthy. (K&N drop in - silencer.)

8k-10k. It seems often but when I pop it out to clean it, its pretty dirty. And I don't drive my car in the dust or anything like that.
