they are lifetime units.... so you re-wash.

ive done a few K n units soooo easy.....

remove filter
spray on cleaner (i use k & n cleaner and oil)
wash with unpressurised water from the inside out
Let dry (takes ages)
run the oil down the raised part of each pleat
Let dry ( takes ages)

Job done, it will look brand new after you've done this. They need cleaning once the dirt has made the wire mesh no longer visible.

mine doesn't need doing but as i have a few jobs to do when the bumper is off im going to do mine as well, my main issue being to change out the Hose, Ess have upgraded this part now and use a much better quality item to the ones were using....

i dunno if i being dumb here but it looks like we could get to the filter if we removed the top black plastic cover over the rad, the piece with the BMM emblem on it.... whats your guys feeling on this?? it appears to only be held on by plastic rivets.
