Today's Projectsastanley 12-12-2001, 12:22 PM OK..I am picking up a K&N Recharge Kit from my local parts store today and I was wondering how the hell to use the damn thing....Is it easy? ? What is the proper procedure?? My K&N filter is starting to look like dog poop and with winter coming I want to start out with it clean before all the winter-time road grime gets on it and crap starts getting sucked in the motor. Thanks peeps. :cool: 91zc 12-12-2001, 12:42 PM It is really easy. It comes with instructions and is really straightforward. You wash the old filtr and dry it and then apply the new oil that comes with the kit.:) sastanley 12-12-2001, 02:38 PM Well damn! I just went to K&N's website and read about their stuff. They say you can go 50,000 miles between servicings of a K&N filter...and I only have about 15,000 on mine. And the dirt on the filter actually helps it to clean better...so F that.. I am not cleaning mine yet. www.knfilters.com Lates! 82civicwagon 12-12-2001, 04:24 PM Originally posted by sastanley Well damn! I just went to K&N's website and read about their stuff.

I get your point and I figure it won't hurt to clean it either...If I clean it every 15k and go up to the recommeneded limit of 25 cleanings, I figure the rest of the car should be just about completely rusted away at 561,000 miles when I need to replace the filter ;) vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
