How can one tell if the filter needs replacing? Mine is looking pretty old but at $120 I'd rather not spend the money on it. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you. Brad |

What type of K&N filter cost $120?
The air cleaner filters have a million mile warranty. Buy a recharge kit. My K&N air cleaner filter uses kit #99-5000. Readily available at most auto parts stores. Claims to be good for 12 uses but maybe half that. Still, it is a $24 kit and wet air filters are better than dry ones. mike '71 351C 4V "Brad and Karen" > wrote in message news:hOAik.136069$gc5.78038@pd7urf2no...

Hey Mike. Actually, it's closer to $130. The 57-2502. The previous owner put it in.
I bought a recharge kit for it today. Seems easy to do. Hope it works. I'll probably know in about 5,000 miles or so. Brad "goodnigh" > wrote in message m... What type of K&N filter cost $120?

Hey, thanks for reminding me, guys. It's time to change my air filter with
another of those $5.00 Purolator paper jobbies from PepBoys. I try to remember to do this every season... dwight "Brad and Karen" > wrote in message news:rVdjk.97980$kx.65664@pd7urf3no... Hey Mike.

Just be sure and not use too much oil on it. If you do then it will
coat the MAF element and screw with its readings. Brad and Karen wrote: > Hey Mike. Actually, it's closer to $130. The 57-2502.

It has higer efficiency but better air flow than paper. With the miles I put on my Mustang it'll never wear out. I have to jifferate a fit on my truck. -- TEACHER: Harold, what do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested? HAROLD: A teacher |

Oil rarely changed, air filter rarely changed. Can't wait to hear all about how it flows better than paper with its high efficiency, but still filters out the dirt as well. |

At least you're consistent, once a douche nozzle, always a douche nozzle. Why don't you bother someone who gives a **** about your opinion. -- TEACHER: Harold, what do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested? HAROLD: A teacher |
