K & N Air Filter Cleaner
What else can I use to clean my K&N air filter? I have about 4 bottles of the oil, but the cleaner gets used faster than the oil. I am sick of buying the 20 dollar kits

I would not use Windex - Simple Green.

Don't clean it. I haven't cleaned mine in probably 70,000 dusty trail miles and the filter minder still hasn't budged and my truck doesn't smoke at all and all that tells me it's still gettin plenty of air. If you look at my filter you won't even see pleates any more cause of all the crap packed in there. If you read through the K&N site it tells ya that they even use the debris for extra filtration, they're made to run dirty.
Personally I think most of the problems people have with these filters is that they pay them to much attention and over clean and oil them. When i changed my oil the other day, I have to pull the air filter and intake tube to get to the oil filter off, I just took a screwdriver and scraped some of the crud out. In my world it's cleaned now. |
Ha that pretty funny. But in my bosses world there are rules, Oil to be changed every 2800 miles with Fram oil filter and delo 400 40wt., air filter to be cleaned and oiled, and air freshener to be changed use only PINE

I have heard the same about Fram filters, and stopped using them. The nice thing about Fram was the grippy bottom on them, no filter wrench required taking them on, or off. I now run Deere filters on my truck. Working for the dealership cuts the cost, plus they are a damn good looking filter. I have cut one open to see there construction, and it looks great.
Another filter that I will NEVER EVER run is WiX. Keep that crap away from me. Others may like them, but after cutting oil and fuel filters apart, there is no way I will ever run one on my rig. |
i clean mine every other oil change... granted i have a gasser, so my oil changes are about every 4k... mine remains trictly street, even so its pretty dirty. the cleaner does go fast than the oil.... maybe some car soap and water? bleach?
