4hrs later and you’re ready to hit the road! Seriously, you need to have 2. One that’s always clean and ready, and the one you’re currently using.

For anyone wondering, there is a K&N filter for Grasshopper mowers, and it does not require oiling.

Hoy, 23/05/2024 aprendi que los filtros de aire son rojos por el aceite que llevan... y que llevan aceite

If I oil the filter pretty good and it drips a little, can that suffocate a carburetor? It’s on my motorcycle now and everything seems to be working fine, I’m just wondering I lost any power by possibly overoiling it. My bike doesn’t have sensors to affect, just an old school carb to the engine. I used the aerosol spray.

Hey KN, what does the Filter Oil do? My Mustang also has a KN Air Filter but I sadly have to clean my Air Mass Sensor after doing multiple hard pulls because its covered in Oil afterwards. Is the Oil just for expanding the Life Time of the Filter or does it have more purpose?

[MrVonkliest]

What do you do if your filter has too much oil and it’s making it throw a P0505 code?

[nglirmah]

So after you spray the oil into the filter do you need to wait for it to dry? Or ready to go after you sprayed it

My K&N cold air intake makes a rattle noise on my 2023 camaro LT1, i’ve taken it apart and cant seem to fine where the rattle is coming from, also tried removing the shield to see it was the shield but it still rattled… k&n can you help?

[SHOKona-wpvr]

I swear, if you oil your filter this much you're going to be throwing codes in 50 miles.

[rizzo]

How bad would it be to use an air gun to dry it off?

[booyakashaboy]

The pour bottle sucks. Oil is not evenly distributed. Too much waste. The spray bottle looks to provide more even coverage.

[zakkrick]

I try not to use oil after cleaning because the oil will dirty the mass airflow sensor, then the check engine lights will come on. Then you have to clean the mass airflow sensors too

[stephendanner]

I just bought the K&N series 63 aircharger cool air intake, do you add oil to that filter?

[mrgohawks]

Can I dry the filter in the sun or does it have to be dried in the shaded area?

[Hazeyoazz]

How many miles you get before you need to do this cleaning process?

[tutuy-mmbe]

Should you spray oil on the inside too??

[bradt.v]

[Descinitys]
