Tech Notes
To clean the filter, first brush off any large embedded dirt. Then spray on the K&N cleaner and let it soak for 10 minutes. Next, Rinse off the element with LOW pressure water. (Always flush from the clean side to the dirty side.) Then allow filter to dry NATURALLY. After filter has dried re-oil with K&N air filter oil only. Apply evenly to entire filter making sure to oil down into each pleat. Then re-install making sure the element seats properly in the filter case.

Description
K&N developed and manufactures a high-flow, washable filter that has been proven, again and again, to increase an engines performance. Oiled premium cotton gauze keeps dirt and debris on the outside of the filter to improve filtering efficiency. Hence, dust and dirt will not clog the filter element as quickly as it will paper and foam. The accordion fold design provides up to five times the filtering surface of non-pleated filters. You won't have to worry about moisture either, since it will not clog the oil-saturated element. Even after being completely wet, the filter won't need to be replaced. The cotton filter media is protected by an epoxy coated aluminum screen mesh that also straightens the air flow for increased air flow. K&N filters are easily cleaned and are backed by a Million Mile Limited Warranty.

4 out of 5 stars K&N Airfilter

Reviewer: From A Customer Own this product - Yes

From Halifax, PA

I replaced my stock air filter with a K&N air filter, and it made a great difference in power and gas MPG, that was until I installed the K&N cold air intake system, WOW! Even better than the OEM intake and a K&N filter!

Your service and delivery were very prompt and although I havent had much time to test the filter, it does appear it did improve performance some through the 1/4 mile test I sort of ran the pickup through. The filter was also very easy to install.

I started using K&N filters years ago and, with the rising gas prices, thought it was best to do anything that would increase fuel efficiency in any way. Installing K&N air filters on my three vehicles was the simplest and fastest way to improve fuel efficiency.

Instant performance

I installed this and was simply amazed at how much of an instant difference it made from the factory model on my 1996 Tahoe. It created 2-4 mpg increase in fuel efficiency and increased the overall performance in noticeable way. Very interested in more from this line.
