if this is in the wrong spot im sorry and i alos tried searching with no luck
my only mod right now is an injen cai and i was wondering how often i have to clean the filter. its been on my car for about 5000 miles now. so im just wondering if i should worry about cleaning it yet and if i do have to how do you clean an oiled filter should you reoil it???

 

it all depends on wat kind of conditions u drive it in...if u drive it summer-winter,i would suggest u clean it every 3-5k or even maybe change the filter after 10k miles..

 

Dont let it go any longer than 10k. you can buy a K&N cleaning kit at ANY autoparts store. Use that and DON'T go crazy with the oil.

 

30,000 to 40,000 miles according to Injen. (I just clean mine every year)

Same question with the GMPP - and since it's non-oiled (right?) do you have to buy the $35replacement filter every 25k miles?

 

Because I have an AEM, I'm going to clean it when the CEL goes off.

No. You just have to buy a cleaning kit for it. Should be 8-10$.

 

10k miles

 

i clean mine every 5k and replace the filter every 10k. i live in a dry dusty area that uses a shitload of salt comes snowstormes.

 

x2 ^ Exactly.

 

10k is a bit premature isn't it? these things should be good for almost 2 times that no? especially with the initial pre oil. and please do not use a lot of that oil stuff. they tell you to use enough to see it all get red i wouldn't even use that much a single light coat all around is good

 

x2, be cleaning it come march

 

I thought the point of the K&N and other types like it is that you don't have to change the filter every 5-10k miles... if you're doing that... get a cheap-o paper brand and don't waste your money.

I cleaned the K&N on my ol' Ranger once... after it'd been on there for 25,000 miles. I'll probably ditch this cheap-o filter and the whole airbox mod sometime this spring and go for a full CAI... it'll have been on there about 10,000 miles by then.
