Using your K&N air filter is a breeze. First, turn off your vehicle and locate the factory air box. Open the air box and remove the old air filter. Then, simply drop the K&N filter into the air box and close it up. That's it! You're ready to enjoy better airflow and performance.
As for maintenance, the K&N filter is washable and reusable. When it gets dirty, which usually happens after a few thousand miles of driving, you can clean it. Use a K&N filter cleaning kit. Follow the instructions on the kit to gently wash the filter, rinse it thoroughly, and let it dry. After it's dry, re - oil the filter according to the kit's directions.
Some important notes: Make sure the engine is off when you're installing or removing the filter. Don't use harsh chemicals to clean the filter as it can damage the layered, oiled cotton media. Also, keep an eye on the filter's condition. If it's overly damaged, it might be time to replace it, although with proper care, it should last for the life of your vehicle.
