  • Cleaning Air Filter

    I bought a k&n filter when i had about 15,000 kms on my car...I now have 90,000. Just sitting here at work..it dawned on me.....I've never cleaned the damn thing. I've been getting pretty crappy gas milage...maybe this is one of the reasons. Do I have to use the k&n kit to clean the air filter? Thanks guys.

    That must be pretty bad... the kit is $10 and it's simple but I'm not sure if you can clean it another way or not.
