Question K&N filter need input

Hi all

Here we go again another silly problem I have a K&N Non Disposable Filter on 6.2 well that is what is written on it it says it can be cleaned but advises K&N Filter cleaner

My problem is what is the cleaner have any of you come across this before and is there any thing else I can use, as over here in UK all I get is blank looks from the places I have asked (motorfactors)

I got mine from Summit Racing. AirAid makes a similar cleaner and rejuvinator.n Even in the states I had a hard time finding it locally and ended up getting it from Summit.

I've heard of people using Simple Green but never have tried personally.

You can order the K&N cleaning kit from many websites

I've had the cone type filter on my GMC for over 100K and love it

Re: K&N filter need input

Throw it in the dishwasher, thats what i have done many times.. bet the wife will love that huh? i use to do it at work with the industrial dishwasher. Before washing it i would spray it down with industrial degreaser as well.. probably not the best thing for it, but it has seen better days as it is.. I still reoiled it everytime though..

Re: K&N filter need input

I'm sure if you wanted one of us could hook you up. I think autozone here in town stocks it as they sell the filters. I can get a price next time i am in town. Can't say how much the shipping would be to the uk would be though. You might just email K@N and see what they can do for you or recommend as an alternative.
