Air Intake Cleaner Options

[Akira_g4]

yesterday i was showing my buddy my engine bay and he commented that my intake looks pretty dirty and that i should clean it. he said he had a cleaner called Injen Pro Tech Charger Kit and he was going to give it to me. so first question does my intake need a cleaning? and second how do you use this cleaner stuff?

i dunno how to usethe cleaner but it does look pretty dirty, if thats not k&n i would just buy another filter from autozone, im pretty sure they sell those kinds of filters with universal adapters, like 2.5",2.75", 3", blah blah...

I use the K&N filter recharge kit. It is a detergent spray and an oil. What you do is spray on the detergent and leave it sit for 10 minutes. After it sits, reverse flush the filter with water (spray from the inside out). Shake excess water out and let it sit and dry. After it dries spray it with the oil all over. Let it sit for ~20 minutes to dry. Reinstall.

If your filter was not originally designed to be oiled like K&N, don't use oil on it.
If your filter is washable, you can wash it.
Otherwise, you will need to replace it.
You can clean "dry type" filter once a while using compressed air.
