Using your K&N air filter is a breeze. First, locate your vehicle's factory air box. Then, simply remove the old filter and drop in the K&N replacement filter. It's designed to fit right in without any complex tools or modifications. When it comes to maintenance, every 50,000 to 100,000 miles (depending on your driving conditions), it's time to clean the filter. Use K&N's recommended cleaning kit. Just soak the filter in the cleaning solution, rinse it gently, and let it dry. After that, apply the K&N filter oil evenly. Remember, don't over - oil the filter as it can cause issues. Also, make sure to keep the filter away from sharp objects to avoid any damage. With proper care, your K&N air filter will serve you well for the life of your vehicle.
