Washing KNN air filter

[Freeman]

For those on knn filter, do you stick to the knn cleaner strictly?

Has anybody tried using other soap solution (eg mama lemon?).

Will it really do any harm?

[Spenz]

I've just used their cleaning kit... quite easy.

Definitely cannot use just soap and water!

 

I still have enuf cleaning fluid and oil for another 4 washes... wanna share?

PM me if interested, I can also wash it for you.

i DIY... use the KNN cleaning kit solution

 

try not to use other cleaning stuff... it might damage the filter

[Spenz]

Best to DIY yourself. once your mechanic use the blower on it all the cotton mesh will clump to one side... susah liao.

Strongly recommend you to use the KNN cleanin kit.

There is this place @ Gentin lane which sells @ quite reasonable price.

Bro, get the K&N Recharger Kit

 

It should cost you less than $30 if i'm not wrong

 

It consists of a bottle of the cleaner in spray form and another bottle of the

K&N oil for you to re-oil the filter

[Adrianli]

Where to get the recharger kit?

[Mzrmazda3]

Most car accessories shops whom carries K&N filter should have it

 

I got mine previously from one of the accessories shop in Alexandra Village

What are the steps to clean the KNN Filter?

Is there an instruction manual when we purchase the cleaning kit?

[Coaxialcable]

In Stamford tyres,

There's a display experiment where you can try to inter-change between the KNN filter and our stock paper filter. It shows that the air flow is much better with the KNN filter. Personally, I can feel that bit of differences.....

 

There's also other after market air filters like hurrican and simonta. Hurrican air filters are much easier to maintain....you can wash with water, blow dry with compressed air...etc, unlike KNN where you cannot use compress air, must use their washing solution and air, else it will damage the filter. Hope it helps

yup... there are insturctions in the kit.

 

but its quite standard mah...

 

rise with water, soak use the cleaning solution, rise again, leave to dry

[Mzrmazda3]

Bro, for me the gain is very slight but you could feel that your car is slightly more willing to rev

 

The change to K&N is because it could last a lifetime as compared to stock paper filters and hence saved the trouble to change it

[Mzrmazda3]

Bro, you still short of 1 step

 

After dry must re-oil it
