Keeping your K&N air filter in top shape is essential for optimal performance. K&N’s air filter cleaning products are designed specifically for their washable, reusable filters, ensuring maximum airflow and a high level of filtration for enhanced fuel economy and horsepower.
Why Use K&N’s Air Filter Cleaner?
Using the K&N Air Filter Cleaner helps to loosen and remove dirt and grime without harming the cotton gauze filter media. Unlike harsh detergents, K&N’s formula ensures the filter remains intact and efficient. Regular cleaning with this solution maintains peak performance, helping to improve fuel efficiency by keeping airflow unobstructed.
K&N Air Filter Oil for Maximum Filtration
After cleaning, applying K&N’s Air Filter Oil restores the filter’s efficiency. This oil leaves a thin protective coating that captures fine particles, keeping contaminants out of your engine. This step not only improves performance but also prolongs the life of your filter and engine.
How Often Should You Clean and Oil Your Filter?
For typical driving conditions, K&N suggests cleaning and re-oiling every 80,000 km. If you frequently drive in dusty or off-road environments, cleaning more regularly may be necessary. Visible dirt or a faded cotton colour are signs it’s time to clean.
Benefits of Regular Cleaning
Improved Airflow: Clean filters allow maximum air intake for better combustion and power.
Extended Filter Life: Routine maintenance can help your filter last as long as your vehicle.
Engine Protection: Clean filters block harmful contaminants, helping to maintain engine health and performance.
