Filter Change - Dbilas
« on: July 13, 2009, 09:52:04 am »

At what sort of mileage / timescale / usage would you recommend changing the K&N filter in the Dbilas?
Are other brands of element that fit available?

Thanks

I believe I can clean and oil it.  But the replacement element is off a Polo so ill probably buy a new one every 20k or so

Thanks

I thought K&N filters were guaranteed for 1,000,000 miles. As long as you clean it regularly it should never need replacing.

The K&N filter just clean up and get re-oiled. You can buy a kit thats has the cleaning solution and red oil for er, re-oiling it.

Thanks guys :D  Any body think an ITG element would be any better?  I know any difference would be minimal
