Using your K&N air filter is a breeze. Just remove your old air filter from the factory air box and drop in the new K&N filter. Make sure it fits snugly. When it comes to maintenance, you can wash the filter with a mild soap and water solution when it gets dirty. Let it dry completely before adding the K&N filter oil. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the filter. Check the filter regularly, especially if you drive in dusty or dirty conditions. With proper care, this filter will serve you well for the life of your vehicle.
