Do you take your high dollar off road or think about it

 

I personally do not take my HIGH dollars off road i dont think about either. my coworker never took his off road either. I was just wondering what kind of up keep a kn filter needs. ive heard that they to be cleaned and oiled every month and i have heard others say they never do anything to them.

 

I offroad my truck alot and the engine bay is filthy. I don't plan on doing anything to my filter for at least another 15k miles. But, I've got an Airraid. Doesn't matter though, I think they're all the same.

 

k and n suggested cleaning and recharging filter every couple of oil changes. you can buy the kit for like $10. i do mine every 3rd or 4th oil change.

 

Airaid filters have an extra synthetic layer to help trap smaller particles.

 

Thats good to know

 

oldirtyjohn Thank you very much for your knowledge. I was thinking about not putting one on but after your info im going to. Thank you very much for your time.

 

I bought one off Ebay, and had TBS for $110.

 

you guys are pay'n WAY to much for a CAI

 

I do a good bit of off-roading and traveling on dirt roads when I'm up at the farm and noticed that not only was my K&N filter getting dirty and requiring cleaning at twice the norm, but my oil was looking particularly dirty on changes.

About two years ago I bought a pre-filter from K&N and put it on. They claim it only inhibits about 2% of the airflow. BIG difference, the filter stays much cleaner and my oil at change time is A LOT cleaner.
I just wipe the pre-filter down with a soft cloth every once in a while, but hell, if it ever gets bad dirty, I believe you can throw it in the washer and dryer...
