In other words, don't spray too much on the filter and make sure it's pretty dry before putting it back in.


While they say a K&N filter will never need changing, the catch is the recharge kit, which costs as much as a standard filter for most cars anyway.

If you use the recharge kit correctly you can get more then one cleaning from it. I've cleaned my last K&N about 4 times with one recharge kit and I think I'm about due for another recharge kit.

Yup... The recharge kits will last quite a few cleanings. Interesting thing is AEM now makes a washable "dry" filter for use in their intake kits. Those are real nice! No oil worries either! (had on on the Honda, and now on the 300).

Yea you're right, the kit did have enough for a a few cleanings now that I think about it. It's been years since I used a K&N.
