How do I clean and maintain this BMC air filter?

This BMC air filter is washable and can be regenerated. You will need to use the appropriate BMC regeneration kit to clean and re-oil the filter properly. This process helps maintain its filtration capabilities and extends its lifespan.

What is the difference between this filter and an OEM filter?

This BMC filter is designed to capture impurities as small as 7 microns, while typical OEM filters capture around 10 microns. The multi-layered cotton gauze and protective mesh construction also aims to improve airflow and durability compared to standard paper filters.

Does this air filter come pre-oiled?

Yes, all BMC air filters, including this model, come pre-oiled from the factory. This means it's ready to install right out of the box without needing any additional oiling before use.

About this part

Product Details

BMC is well-known for making high-performance air filters, and this direct-fit replacement is built with that reputation in mind. If you're looking to get the most out of your 2007-2012 Bombardier or Can-Am Outlander 500 H.O. RFI, a clean and efficient air filter is key to keeping the engine running smoothly.

This filter uses a multi-layered cotton gauze, soaked in a low-viscosity oil, and covered with an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This construction helps trap impurities as small as 7 microns, which is an improvement over the typical 10 microns found in OEM filters. The mesh also protects against fuel fumes and humidity. BMC makes these filters using a single mold, which means there are no welded joints that could potentially break over time. It's designed to fit right into your existing airbox, making the swap straightforward.

Because it's washable and can be regenerated with a BMC kit, this filter is a solid option for the long haul. Just remember to use the proper regeneration kit to keep it in top shape for its 2-year limited warranty.
