Using your K&N air filter is easy. First, open your vehicle's factory air box. Then, simply take out the old air filter and drop in the K&N filter. Make sure it fits snugly in place. When it comes to maintenance, you can wash and reuse this filter. Every few months, check the filter for dirt and debris. If it's dirty, you can use a K&N air filter cleaning kit. Follow the instructions on the kit to clean the filter thoroughly. After cleaning, let it dry completely before putting it back in your vehicle. One important thing to note is that always use K&N's recommended oil when re - oiling the filter. This will ensure it continues to work effectively and maintain the high - performance level that K&N is known for.
