AIR FILTER OIL
K&N performance air filter oil
This is the only oil specially formulated to work in
combination with the cotton fabric in K&N air filter
elements providing a superior air filtration system.
When used as directed, it quickly penetrates the filter
pleats, where it remains suspended in the cotton fabric.
Saturation is maintained until the element is cleaned with
K&N Air Filter Cleaner.

AIR FILTER CLEANER
K&N Power Kleen Air Filter Cleaner
This is the only cleaner recommended to clean K&N cotton
air filter elements.
K&N Power Kleen works to dissolve the dirt build up and old
filter oil, then it can be washed away with water. The use of
any other cleaning solution can void your air filter's
warranty. It is so good at cleaning greasy dirt and grime that
it can also be used as an industrial strength degreaser by
removing deposits from most surfaces including cotton air
filters, painted surfaces, chrome, plastic and more!
355 ml pump spray bottle. |

Air Filter
K&N performance air filter.
To meet minimum filtration standards, paper air filters must be thick and/or the fibres must be tightly compressed and dense. Therefore paper elements that provide adequate filtration are more restrictive to air flow by design.
Additionally, as a paper filter becomes more and more clogged, the pressure inside the filter drops while the atmospheric air pressure (approximately 14.7 psi at sea level) outside the filter remains the same. It's like using your lungs to draw the air out of a plastic milk bottle. When the pressure differential becomes too great, the bottle will collapse. The same thing could happen to your paper filter, although it is unlikely, but what will happen could be just as severe.
An excessively high pressure differential created by a restricted filter can literally pull dirt particles through the paper medium. In other words, the performance of a paper filter, i.e. air flow through the filter and its ability to protect your engine, DECREASES near the end of its service interval.
(filter needs cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions).
