Using your K&N air filter is easy. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is off. Open the factory air box and remove the old air filter. Then, simply drop in the K&N filter and close the air box. That's it! For maintenance, check the filter regularly. If it looks dirty, you can wash it. Use a K&N filter cleaning kit. Follow the instructions on the kit to wash and re - oil the filter. Don't use other cleaning products as they may damage the filter. When re - oiling, make sure to apply the oil evenly. Keep in mind that in very dirty environments, you may need to clean the filter more often. And always refer to the K&N 10 - Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty if you have any concerns about the filter's performance or durability.
