Using your K&N air filter is easy. First, find your vehicle's factory air box. Then, simply remove the old filter and drop in the K&N replacement filter. Make sure it fits snugly. When it comes to maintenance, you don't need to replace the filter often. Every once in a while, check if it's dirty. If it is, wash it with a mild cleaner and let it dry completely. After that, re - oil it using K&N filter oil. As a note, always make sure the filter is dry before re - oiling and installing it. Also, don't over - oil the filter as it can cause problems with your engine's sensors.
