does this work well enough?How long between recharges (real life, not suggested)?better than just cleaning?

I find the Recharge kits are for cleaning.. they usually come with Cleaner and the oil.. I usually clean my filter 1-2 times a year.. but obviously the more dirtier/kms you do, its worth to clean it more often.. in the long run it will be cheaper to clean a K&N air filter than buying a new crappy stock air filter every 20,000 kms..cheersMartin

yup the recharge kits are worth it, ill be cleaning my CAI filter before snow so id say at least twice a year for cleaning.

Same here, 2-3 times a year. I'm looking at getting the 'new' oil-less ones. Haven't heard much about them though.

There's oil-less ones?

I have that recharge kit, and it has two seperate bottles. One called "fileter oiling", and one called "filter cleaning"

i thought the whole point of these filters was that they were oiled....cause the filter can allow more air in while the oil traps the particulate matter.

Where is a good place online to buy these recharge kits?I bought a filter at the Owatonna meet and will need to clean it soon.

i saw on ebay they had them for 16$ shippped...seems like a decent price???

you can get them at any auto parts store, not sure how much, but cheaper than $16 for sure.

Thanks for the info. Found them at Pep Boys $11.95

just dont use too much oil and they work greatCAN-AWD-VIBE

thanks for the post participation everyone. Looks like i'll swing by pep boys here in portland

after you oil you just want to make sure...100% SURE that its dry. if you over oil your filter it will cause a CEL and dirty the MAF. so when i oiled mine i left it sit over night.
