ilang beses ka na nag-recharge ng KNN filter mo?

[jmpet626]

I think 2 or 3 times na sir. around 36k pa lang natakbo. Pagkabili ko nag knn na kaagad ako.

out of the box ba diretso mo na nilagay yung k&n mo? or
did you hose it down a bit para matanggal yung excess oil?

before mo linisin, kita mo na talaga na madumi na?

and lastly,

kamusta naman sir yung surrounding plastic nung airfilter box mo? wala naman bahid ng oil?

Have had some running issues in the past that we thought were due to oil contamination, but I was using an oiled Simota. And MAF cleaning is as easy as spritzing it with a bottle of Elektra contact cleaner and letting it drip dry. Have had absolutely no issues with K&N, even after re-oiling the filter.

You can sometimes find residue on the inside of the intake pipe, though.

Consensus is... if you clean properly and don't over-oil your K&N, you should be fine.

Pagka kuha sa box lagay na kagad. Yup madumi na bago ko nililinis nag babase ako dun sa may dirty side (pointing down) ng filter pag may mga malalaki ng particles at parang dust na kumpol kumpol. Na check ko din yung top part (facing clean side ng filter which is pointing up) wala naman oil pero may konting fine dust siya.

Ano reason bakit kailangan mag install ng Simota or K&N air filter? Para ba sa HP gain ng Engine or makatipid na hindi na bili ng bili ng stock air filter?

For me, I go for the free-flow cone types to improve top-end (high RPM) breathing. This worked well in some of my cars (especially when i coupled it with a good set of headers) and had no effect on others. Now i just buy the K&N drop-in filter since it's cheaper than replacing my air filter every XXXX kms.
