Using your K&N air filter is easy. First, locate your vehicle's factory air box. Then, simply remove the old air filter and drop in the K&N replacement filter. Make sure it fits snugly. When it comes to maintenance, check your filter regularly. If it looks dirty, it's time to clean it. To clean, use a K&N air filter cleaning kit. Spray the cleaner on the filter and let it soak for a few minutes. Then, rinse it gently with water. After rinsing, let it dry completely before reapplying the oil from the kit. Remember, always follow the instructions on the cleaning kit. Also, keep in mind that this filter is designed to last for the life of your vehicle, but proper maintenance will ensure it performs at its best.
