I've heard several complaints about this. You'll just have to clean your MAF sensor more often. And don't go overboard on the oil when lubing it up. Some people switch to foam filters or dry highflow filters
well as far as a 'big' difference goes, it depends on the vehicle. But generally it will save you a bit on gas and get you a little more horsepower. And its a easy/affordable upgrade that over time will pay for itself.
Just wondering, the dirty side is the side that is pulling the air in and the clean side would be the side facing the motor? as in the diry side is facing outward to the intake pulling air through it.
@arthurlam2003 not true! im on the K&N site right now, it says to do exactly what this guys doing, even shows a picture. if you dont believe me go on their site which is knfilters dawt com slash cleaning. lol, weird to have to say the site like that, but yeah. 'tis true to do it this way
Great video and a good tutorial for those who have not done this important procedure. I'm glad I watched it an read the comments about lubricating the clean side of the filter. Thanks for posting this helpful video.
Look at the directions on the K&N instructions manual, they made a mistake. It says to add oil to the DIRTY side yet when you look at the picture next to the description, it shows the CLEAN side is being oiled... this video shows the right way, dont look at the K&N picture.... weird...
Cool Video! Would you happen to know if I can use a K & N recharger kit to recharge my AIR RAID air filter. I know they have their own recharger kit but I have a K & N kit handy.
Thanks a bunch for posting this! The instructions are pretty straight forward in the box but for $60 + cleaning supplies I wanna make sure I'm cleaning right. Nice job!!
the oil prevents smaller specs from going through the filter element (i think it this case a cotton material for K&N).) a trade off from using cheap paper elements for filter, K&N and other high performance filters are more breatheable/permeable but they require thorough cleaning & recharging (re-oiling)
OMG! thanks for this video!!!! I was looking up K&N filter change and wash but wasn't able to find this at first..."recharge" was the keyword. Anyway, I just got a K&N and didn't know it was reusable until I opened the box, Definitly worth the few extra dollars!!!

Reply | Spam does it make a big difference replacing your stock filter with a k & n?
increase in fuel economy little horsepower, and a cool sound and its more cost effective than buying paper filters all the time.

yes it does, a dramatic sound difference , and a slight power increase.
Just buy one, they save gas and incrase power, also it will prolong your engines life
