How often should I clean my K&N air filter?

Cleaning depends on your driving conditions. K&N recommends cleaning and re-oiling your filter every 50,000 miles for normal highway use, but more frequently in dusty conditions. A dirty filter restricts airflow, reducing performance.

Do I need to oil this filter?

Yes, this is an oiled air filter. The oil is what traps the dirt and allows the filter to be cleaned and reused. You'll need to purchase a K&N filter cleaning and oiling kit separately.

Will this filter void my vehicle's warranty?

In most cases, no. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects consumers from warranties being voided due to aftermarket parts, unless the manufacturer can prove the aftermarket part caused the failure. However, it's always best to check with your dealer.
