Using your K&N air filter is simple. First, open your factory air box. Then, take out the old air filter and replace it with the K&N filter. Make sure it fits snugly. As for maintenance, you can wash and reuse this filter. When the filter gets dirty, use a K&N filter cleaning kit. Follow the instructions on the kit to wash and oil the filter. It's important to let the filter dry completely before reinstalling it. Keep in mind that the K&N filter is designed to last the life of your vehicle, but regular checks are a good idea. If you notice a significant drop in performance, it might be time to clean the filter. Also, always make sure to use genuine K&N cleaning products to keep the filter in top condition.
