Autobarn, etc.

"K&N Filter Charger" or something like that.

Comes with special cleaner and oil. Read instructions. No compressed air, don't over-oil. :)

Not 100% sure, but I think they only recommend recharging them every 30,000k's or something. Can't remember exactly - but I wouldn't say it needs to be oiled regularly.

Just did mine over the weekend, after about 30,000km. Got a lot of dirt out of it, but it didn't look too bad before I started. Looked a lot better after I had finished.:)

If you're worried about it, I would clean it every major service (12 months or 15000km). Cleaning it too often can't hurt it.

cheers,

i agree, bout 30k to recharge it. but if u wanna wash it every 5k u may do so but it doesnt mean u hav to oil it at the same time.
