When should you change out your filter? How many miles?

I have replace my Comptech foam filter in my icebox with the K&N filter as well.

The K&N produces a little more sound but no more power.

Do you still have to clean the K&N and oil it? That's a pain.

dj5

Yes you still have to clean and oil the K&N replacement filter although not as often as you have to clean and oil the foam Comptech filter.

Other than a personal preference there is really not much reason to replace the Comptech filter. It is nice to have two filters to exchange, put a clean one in while the other is being cleaned and drying.

Gibrango

Ah, That's a great reason to buy one!

yeahh K&n great sound ,plus stays cleaner longer

how many miles do you change out your filter?

Okay I been wondering this question for a short while. I put my ice box in 7000 miles ago. the filter doesnt seem like it will catch any dust or dirt. I think my eng must be getting contaminated with debris. Can someone tell me something that would make me feel more comfortable with this ice box filter?????

If It's oiled, the icebox filter WILL catch dirt. Mine gets flthy by 7000 miles.
