You do know it has to be cleaned periodically.

well mag_evo is right he wont need to buy another air filter if the claims by k&n are true. and he wont need the cleaning kit for another year at least. so if he fixes the stuff within 12 months whats the issue? :nuts:

A year between cleaning the filter. Are you sure thats right?

yep its only once every 70,000ks (im positive thats the figure)

A year between cleaning the filter. Are you sure thats right?

my bad, every 30000-50000 MILES, about 45000-75000 KMs. you only need to CHECK it once a year. so yeah clean every 2 - 3 years.

And the warranty on the K&N filters is good for 1million kilometres, if i am reading it right.

But on a side topic, how much oil are you meant to put on them when reoiling after cleaning? Like how many squirts a side from the cleaning kit bottle?

Ks dont realy matter

if driving in dusty conditions check it more often they should be checked every service 5000km no more than 10000km

:bowrofl: um if ks dont matter then why check it at 5000 - 10000 ks? :bowrofl:

Whoops :redface: ...

...I actually think i left mine unplugged when i first put mine in too. Only i located the problem pretty quickly. Sorry bout that mate, i think i got distracted by something and totally forgot. Oh well no harm done :).

yea i know lol
what i mean was if driving in dust or dusty roads check it when you get home

Just check it whenever you do a service. No probs then, also it'll prolly get dirty in one corner but the rest'll be clean, just spin it round :D

Why did you unplug the MAF in the first place? No need to at all, undo the clips, pull the old filter out and put the new filter in, redo the clips and your done.

On my car and i discovered on trances, you cant pull it out as the cable attached to the plug is too tight. I'd rather work with more space then work with an inch for my hand to move.

u called RACV for an unplugged mas cable ??? :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:
