Using your K&N air filter is super easy. First, open your vehicle's factory air box. Then, take out the old air filter and put in the new K&N filter. Make sure it fits snugly in place. Close the air box, and you're good to go! When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the filter. If it looks dirty, it's time to clean it. You can wash it with a special K&N cleaning kit. After washing, let it dry completely before adding the oil that comes with the kit. This will keep the filter working at its best. Just a note, always follow the instructions on the cleaning kit to make sure you're doing it right. Also, check the filter regularly to keep your engine running smoothly.
