wondering if anyone out there has recharged or replaced their C&L filters or anything from their intakes and if so how many miles did they go before they did?

15,000 ? 30,000? etc.. just curious as a reference point im sure it may depend from car to car but in general. thx

I just base mine on looks. If it looks dirty, I clean it...

Exactly. It actually filters better when it's a little dirty rather than completely clean.

Filter

If it's a K&N, I seem to remember K&N saying not to touch it for 50,000 to 100,000 miles because it does work better with a bit of dirt on the surface. A nice clean filter looks good but isn't filtering as well and that is the main job, to keep the dirt out.
