    Been using kn filters for 20 years this year.. Always been my first purchase when I get a new vehicle.. I've seen reviews stating they can be bad or not filter as good.. But I haven't seen anything in my oil samples that would suggest excess dirt is getting into the pistons and oil.. And my vehicles have gone 300k miles no issue.. I clean pretty often since I live in dusty west Texas usually twice a year.

      ​@acc1tester398 check the filter. Is it dirty? Clean it. Also when you see the filter has lost the oil(red look) time to clean and apply oil layer again.
      Warning: do not put to much oil otherwise your maf sensor can be damage.

    I just got the Toyota Trd air filter.
    I thought it was interesting because Toyota does no longer sell a cleaning kit. But right on the box as an official sticker, that actually says, use K&N cleaner, and oil. I suppose we know now that K&n makes these which is cool.

    I have used K&N filters on my LPG powered Subaru and Mercedes 6 Cylinder engines for over 18 years, they totally kill the stuttering caused by LPG, at traffic lights and give a cleaner burn.
    Just to calm my nerves, I have always used the foam pre-filters an all vehicles.
    Just changing the ones on my Viano and S-Class , the Pre- Filters are worth their weight in Gold, after 60,000 miles the filter itself has very little dirt or wear on them.
    Highly recommend their use.
    PS, Thanks K&N for totally curing the LPG stutter. I will use nothing else.

    I have a DNA filter on my bike (K&N doesnt make one). Is it alright that I use a K&N kit to clean and oil it?

  • @DBLDQ
    @DBLDQ 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    How long after spraying would you recommend to wait before installing back in the vehicle? Also, would you recommend leaving it oil side up or down during that time?

    • @KNfilters
      @KNfilters  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      You want to wait until the oil wicks into the material and creates a consistent color across the entire filter (it should be salmon red). The direction you set the filter to wick is not as important... however we recommend placing the oiled side up so that oil does not drip onto the ground and instead absorbs into the filter. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact our Product Specialists at 800-858-3333 or tech@knfilters.com

    • @KNfilters
      @KNfilters  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +84

      Make sure to only oil one side of the filter. We generally recommend applying filter oil to the dirty side of the filter. If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our Product Specialists at 800-858-3333 or tech@knfilters.com.

    • @norakat
      @norakat 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hmm.. my reasoning would be that you can get a more even coat if you went from both sides.

    • @austingarland8242
      @austingarland8242 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      No. If you over oil the filter the oil can cover the MAF sensor and throw codes on your dash. Should not oil the inside at all, and only the intake side.

    • @shakengandulf
      @shakengandulf 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      ​@norakat way i see it. You wana catch the garbage on the side it came from, hence oiling the outside.

    What's the dry time recomended before puting the oil

    • @KNfilters
      @KNfilters  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Drying time can vary depending on a number of factors. If the filter is still cool or damp to the touch, or if you test a small amount of oil in the corner of the filter and it runs off (instead of absorbing) you should allow the filter to continue drying. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact our Product Specialists at 800-858-3333 or tech@knfilters.com.

    After cleaning the filter, when you say dry. Do you mean fully dry? And not a bit damp? But Sahara desert dry?

    • @KNfilters
      @KNfilters  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yes, the filter media must be completely dry so that the filter oil absorbs into the media. If the filter still feels cool/damp, or you apply a small amount of oil to one of the corners and it runs off then you need to let the filter continue drying.

      When the red color turns gray it’s time to clean and re oil.
      Mine needs recharging more often than most, it is an open breather on a Harley Davidson so it is in the environment more than in an air box on a car or truck. Don’t let it get too dirty before cleaning and oiling.

      The filter oil is a critical part of the filtration process for K&N oiled cotton filters. Not applying filter oil during the cleaning process will result in reduced performance.
