Using this K&N air intake kit is easy. First, make sure your engine is cool. Then, follow the included instructions to install the kit, which usually takes less than an hour. During normal highway driving, you won't need to service the filter until you've driven about 100,000 miles. Just check it regularly to see if it needs cleaning. When cleaning the filter, use the recommended K&N cleaning solution and let it dry completely before reinstalling. Remember, in California, some intakes aren't legal for pollution - controlled vehicles, so always check the CARB status of your part.
