AEM CAI filter cleaning

I've had a AEM CAI for about 10 months. I was wondering how often I should clean the K & N filter and how I should clean it

Hello, get a hold of a K&N filter cleaner kit. They may sell them at wal-mart in your area or any automotive store. Easy to follow instructions and I'd say clean it maybe once a year, depending where you live. Mine was so dirty after I cleaned it, also it's good to inspect the filter to make sure there is no damage to it.

You don't need to clean it that often. Only if you are in very dusty environment. Recommand clean time is like 10,000 to 15,000 miles.
