Cleaning K&N Air Filter
My mopar CAI has a K&N air filter. At 62k, should I clean it or just get a new one? Not sure how often previous owner cleaned it so I'm thinking new one may be better. I'll post pics tomorrow. I have the cleaning oils and stuff, how difficult is it to clean?

Someone just ran a thread on this last week or so, I'll see if I can find it... They are suppose to be cleaned at 15,000 miles, but the trouble is the down time of a few hours while they dry... I just bought a new one for $50 + S&H

Get yourself two and rotate them . . . it will give you some time to clean the dirty one in case you decide to get lazy and let it sit a month or two aha

That is a great idea. I have 2 myself.
Another thing to remember is that after you let the cleaner set for a few minutes, rinse the filter from the inside to the outside.
It helps to keep the micro particles from embedding into the filter.

Thinking about getting one of these AFE Pro-Dry S Air Filter.
It's blue ike the Mopar filter but larger, and would match the Mopar emblem on CAI, just alot larger and don't have to deal with oiling it. Anyone use one of these?
(Old Pic....and I have since straightened the Engine cover...lol)
