Rep Power: 0 Here in Puerto Rico really have dirt air, so I clean mine every 7k miles or every 6 months (anyways, like 2 times a year).
About how to clean it... follow Streetglower instructions.

Rep Power: 310 also keep in mind....after the rinsing and clensing make sure you let it dry for a long period of time too..
i think aem and K&N makes filter cleaning kits. i think their like $20?+ ppl told me you get a cup or bucket, pour the cleaning liquid into it, and dip the filter in their for a minute and remove. but sounds kinda odd. =|

Rep Power: 314 I bought the K&N filter cleaning kit from Pep Boys.... it was about $15 I think. Basically, 2 spray cans. 1 spray for the cleaning liquid, and 1 is for the oil.

Rep Power: 788 I'm not cleaning mine until 40-50k miles. It filters dirt better when dirty. A clean K&N is terrible at trapping dirt.
Couldn't help myself becaue there really is a difference in power over stock.

Rep Power: 346 I clean mine once a year. The filter actually performs better when there is some dirt on it. <---- I'm not joking.
