can the K&N oil filters be washed and re used ?

This particular filter is not designed to be reused. The construction does not permit cleaning the interior of the filter.

You can't wash it but you can "dust bust" it or vaccuum it; eventually you will need a new one, but not each time it says "clean filter." The filters last a long time.

Hog Hair Frameless filters are washable and reusable. Step 1- Remove as much dust as possible from the filter with a vacuum. Use cold water to rinse them off from front to back. Make sure filter is completely dry before putting it back. If you want to this additional step, it may remove even more dust, dirt, and any other particles. Use a solution of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water. Use a small tub which is large enough for you to submerge the air filter. Let it soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove air filter from solution to dry.

K&N sells a cleaner and re-oil kit that you should use. You will spray the filter with cleaner, let sit, then hose off. Once the filter is dry you will spray it with the oil from the kit and reinstall in vehicle. Overall, it is an easy process and the kit had enough supplies for multiple filter cleans and re-oils.

Contact: knfilters.com for that specific intel. I did a trial run of taking a new 170c oil filter adding oil and the next day drained down the oil. next step was to weigh the filter. Log this number. Then install it on the motorcycle and after 3,000 miles, remove the filter and drain. I weighed it and was impressed with the collection quality of the K & N Filters. I use these in my two cycles and my wifes Sportster. I also use them in my car and truck. I have been working on motorcycles for over 40 yrs. and am a certified tech. I hope this helped you.

You can clean the filter yourself and use it over and over again. I can't foresee ever buying another filter for it.

Not sure, but since the filter is ceramic and they give you some sand paper to clean it. I would say you could use it for a very long time without needing to change it.

Yes it has to be cleaned and oiled. The indicator on the filter housing will indicate when. On average once a year in low dust conditions. You can get the kit from Toyota or use a K&N; recharge kit.

If the filter is new it is ready to go out of the box. You shouldn't need to add any oil until you clean the filter.

No. You do have about 3 filters that get replaced at various times. They are not washable. A display screen on the top will indicate which filter needs to be replaced. We have had ours about 2.5 years and I have replaced one filter at about $50 and a second filter is needed at a cost of $150+

No. Filter is already oiled by manufacturer. You will need to purchase a re-oil kit for maintaing filter quality.

I do not think you can wash them, but they can but you can shake them in a wast basket and remove the loose particles. It would be best to just replace after dusting. They are excellent in grappling dust you did not even was there. Highly recommend.

True justiceThe kit I ordeted was with a red filter. With that being said, mine was oiled. When I cleaned it, I used a k&n; filter cleaning kit which comes with oil to reapply. I had no issues with this kit at all. If it is a big issue, you can always call s&b; direct, provide them with the part number, and ask if it is. As always, I reccomend purchasing from Amazon. It is generally cheaper.

I looked at the warranty booklet and it only says to shake and brush dust and dirt from filter. Their is no mention of being able to wash filter. I had a eurkea vacuum before and these filters last a long time but I am a single guy in a 1 bedroom apartment.

The filter element is the same as any K&N; filter as far as service requirements go; the "Filtercharger" kit you got at the parts store has detailed instructions for cleaning, drying and etc.

I washed mine before using them the first time. I have never used any kind of oil on them.

No, they are reusable. However, they will need to be thoroughly cleansed after each use (salt build up and grime).
