Here's a video on how to clean a K&N Air Filter. I have seen this done improperly in the past so I thought I'd share the process with you. Here's a summary of the cleaning process.

Do you have a K&N Cone Style Filter? Here's a video I made on cleaning that style.    • K&N Cone Style Filter Cleaning

    I come back here every now and then and rewatch that video, clean my air filter, and then until next time! :P
  • @ellycasey5468
    As a 22 year old female who was never taught a thing about vehicles, this was so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you!
  • This video is 9 yrs old already and I am here right now in 2023 and you clearly explained how to clean my KN Air Filter that fits to my 200 BHP Abarth 595 convertible 😊 Also nice to see that your channel is still running with new videos e.g. swing arm laptop, wish you all the best from Budapest, Hungary / Europe 😇 Cheers, Edward

    This has been my go to video for the past 5 years when I need to clean my k&n filter. Thank you my man
  • @bigbhoy7363
    Thanks from Scotland , put this out in “the sun” and it got even more wet. Kids are crying now
  • @ferglesnerk
    Hey mate. Just took my K&N off my 2002 Ford Falcon (Australia) to clean it but figured I better check the youtube first. Thanks for all the info in this video. Made sense, easy to understand and didn't over complicate things. Cheers mate.
  • @joejacoby2464
    Thanks! Bought used truck with K&N filter, bought the recharge kit, figured I'd better watch video - good, clear instructions, easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time to video and share!
  • @jas672
    Great DIY especially being sure to rinse from the clean side and not over spraying with the oil! Thank you!!
  • @mrob5278
    Thank you for the help!! I would be so lost without people like you and your videos. Thanks man.
  • @neta2000
    Thanks for the tutorial Jeff. Although K&H said that the filter should be cleaned every 25,000 miles in off road, dusty conditions (50,000 in normal conditions), I cleaned mine on my Grand Cherokee after about 10,000 miles. It improved the gas/mileage ratio.
  • @Toombstoner1
    I didn't even know there was such a thing as a K&N cleanable air filter and my mechanic told me it needed to be cleaned, so I really appreciated the information, thank you.
  • Stellar video. I really appreciate how straight to the point it is instead of getting a long winded explanation
  • @The-Silent-One
    Hey, thanks man. I just ordered a K&N air filter for my van so it's nice to have found a cool, informative video like this one so I'll know the proper procedure when cleaning-time comes. Many thanks!
  • @ernestly8961
    I find that the K&N filter improves my mileage. Apart from tire pressure being too low, keeping an air filter clean is the most common issue motorists have that can improve mileage.
  • Great video. No blabbering on about nothing in other videos. Straight to the point
  • @paulmoore5977
    I looked at a few other videos. Yours was the most comprehensive but still was simple to follow. Thank you, well done.
  • @frankardos4211
    Jeff,this was THE BEST video of how to clean a K&N filter.A lot of people may not even know which side is which! Very nice job of clearly explaining this procedure. God Bless!
  • @mlindert
    It was K&N cleaning time again. Googled a bit and found this same video as a couple of years ago with the friendly guy explaining how to do the job. Thanks !
  • @thestig007
    Good tip on only oiling the intake side. I hadn't considered that it could get on the airflow sensor.
